Welcome to our hackathon events hosted by the [OpenGeoHub](https://opengeohub.org/) Foundation in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) as part of the **[ESA Symposium on EO 4 Soil Protection and Restoration 6–7 March 2024 at ESA-ESRIN center, Frascati, Italy](https://www.eo4soilprotection.org/)**! The European Space Agency (ESA), along with EO research communities, recognizes the urgency of improving monitoring systems for soil health. These hackathons aim to unite researchers, students, scientists, and technology enthusiasts to address these challenges using open-source remote sensing data and legacy soil data.
