      This is only a part of Europe. Russia also has a huge amount of black soil.

      It’s incredible that greek culture was a able to spread around the mediteranean during antiquity when the soil was so bad !

      Croatia has good soil because of the Pannonian basin but we completely ran the entire region and food industry into the ground (thank you selfish politics) where now we import anything that aren’t apples or onions. This is of course excluding the homegrown smallscale farming you can encounter.

      If anything extremely serious happens with climate change and/or logistics in the next 30 years we are completely screwed.

      That’s why In Italy we have the concept of Heroic Agriculture/Viticulture

      It doesn’t really matter how good or bad your soil is anymore, technology and management are more predictable indicators of yields. Netherlands has the highest production of anything per hectare and the soils are ‚okay‘

      This is an excellent map, thank you. I love that I can pick out those places in the UK I know like the Vale of Evesham and the Dorset dairylands. I’m very surprised that much of Devon and Cornwall are classified as very poor. Leaving aside the moors, there is so much rich grassland there which supports our dairy and beef herds, that I’m very surprised to see so much red.

      Why are Galicia and Asturias so damn red? I don’t think that is correct, even accounting for the Cantabrian Mountains.

      honestly, this is kinda wild to look at… I didnt realize the quality varied so much across the continent :0 I wonder what makes the soil in some spots so much better than others… ^^

      Some methodology bs is at play here as the Carpathians in Romania are „very poor“ but then in Ukraine and Poland they are somehow „moderate“

      I wonder why there is a Moldovan sized hole between Romania and Ukraine. No soil?

      The land in Galicia is of poor quality but it produces the best agricultural products in Spain . It’s strange

      I wonder if some of the areas in northeastern France were destroyed by ww1

      I find it curious France has this big orange part right on an old volcanic range.

      Doesn’t Sicily have really good soil ? Best tomatoes and vegetables fruits thrive on the Vulcano soil

    26. random-chicken32 on

      Super naive question from someone who knows nothing about this: What (chemicals) determine a „good“ soil? Are we talking about just monoculture farming only?

      switzerland is very bad. its full of PFAS, 99% of all swiss soil is contamininated and there are no EU-regulations that apply here.

    33. plantgay84 on

      Why does Switzerland fare so poorly? It seems like a natural haven, I guess the mountains don’t help but the cow shit must

      Sorry but i would love to understand how points are distributed. As an example, sicily historically was the granary of rome. There is a large amount of volcanic soil there. The same for Campania.

      I need to know how that figure is calculated, because the Levante orchards (orange groves in Valencia) are shown in red, whilst the coast and centre of the province of Alicante (basically bare mountains) are shown in orange and even yellow.

      Interesting how some of the best areas for the production of wine seem to have the poorest soil

      Why is Wales so bad? We literally have a song called The Green Green Grass of Home!
