Soil contamination is a generalised problem in south-west Europe that has a severe impact on biodiversity and human health. With the objective of recovering soils, the PhytoSUDOE project will promote the use of a novel technique by owners and administrators of contaminated land: phytomanagement. This alternative has been subject to little research up to now and is beneficial to the environment, and also profitable by means of the cultivation of non food plants that absorb contamination or inactivate the contaminating agents of the land.
