How artificial intelligence could contribute to assess soil security dimensions and improve soil connectivity for all stakeholders of a society

International audience Supply chain disruptions, geopolitical tensions and inflation increase the risk of food shortage and food production for industrialized countries. Moreover, global peace and security depends on planetary functioning and global food security which rely on the capacity and condition of soils to deliver functions and services that are sustained by soil microbiome activities. Indigenous Microorganisms (IMO) that compose soil microbiomes are organized in trophic levels and sustain most of the seven functions targeted to be protected in the European Union. Respectively: biomass production, storing nutrients and water, biodiversity and carbon pools, physical & cultural environment for human’s activities, source of raw materials and archive of geological and archeological heritage. The need to assess soil security becomes systemic and interdisciplinary because the dimensions capital (related to the value of the functions delivered by soils), connectivity (related to how soil is connected with social aspect) and codification (related to legislate to protect soils) depend on the activities coming from whole stakeholders of a society. Many Artificial Intelligence models are currently developing various types of soil assessments and indicators for research purposes as well to provide services to growers. However, most of those are still financially unaffordable for growers and complex to understand when it comes to interpreting results and making changes to farmers" daily practices (e.g. DNAe test). This presentation is part of an ongoing PhD study and aims to discuss Artificial Intelligence targeting to be accessible for all the stakeholders in order to get a quick reading of soil microbiome as an additional indicator of soil health. The objectives are first to reach out for growers and then developing the connection to soil in order to value and protect it (capital & codification) with decision makers who would have direct access to soil data.
