Gypsum, fibre, and structure lime – useful materials for farming and guidance

This page presents the most recent material regarding the use of gypsum, soil improvement fibres, and structure lime, as well as their benefits for farmers and the environment. Soil improvement agents offer tools for ensuring the vitality of farmland and preventing eutrophication in nearby water bodies.

On this page, you can find the gypsum, fibre, and structure lime guide, videos, and a recording of the webinar held on 8 December 2021 and its presentation material.

The material has been prepared in cooperation between the KIPSI (GYPSUM), KUITU (FIBRE) and Rakennekalkki (Structure Lime) projects. More information about different soil improvement agents, their use and research is available on each project’s website. This project is part of the Water Protection Programme launched by the Ministry of the Environment.
