Keywords: soil - ISTRO - carbon sequestration - soil structure characterization - soil compaction

The association also aims to encourage the application of the results of such research into agricultural practice.

ISTRO organizes an international conference every three years to review progress in terms of research and innovation. The conference brings together 250 to 350 participants ranging from soil scientists to agricultural field advisers, engineers from technical institutes or in agro-equipment companies and teachers.

The scientific topics during the conference will focus on advances in soil structure characterization, soil compaction, biogeochemical processes and carbon sequestration, with a special interest in soil ecology and ecosystem services. Equipment strategies will also be discussed with soil tillage strategies, smart farming, tire and tillage equipment design.

This conference will be an excellent opportunity to present research, share ideas and develop new perspectives in soil and tillage research to address these challenges. It is organized with the collaboration of: AgroParisTech, Arvalis-Institut du végétal, Terres Inovia, ISARA Lyon and INRA.
