The SoilLL2030 project is a transformative Horizon Europe initiative aimed at fostering soil health and sustainability across Europe by establishing Soil Health Living Labs. These living labs act as regional hubs where farmers, researchers, policymakers, and citizens co-create practical solutions to restore and protect soil ecosystems. By encouraging community-driven innovation, the project helps bridge the gap between science and real-world application, making sustainable soil practices more accessible and actionable.
Building a Community of Soil Stewards
SoilLL2030 not only emphasizes practical experimentation in soil management but also prioritizes capacity-building and awareness. Through training, participatory research, and inclusive knowledge sharing, the project empowers local communities to adopt climate-resilient and biodiversity-friendly soil practices. As part of the broader EU Soil Mission, it contributes to achieving the goal of healthy soils in 75% of EU soils by 2030, ensuring long-term food security, climate mitigation, and ecosystem health.
