Presentation of PREPSOIL, preparing the ground for healthy soils, living labs
Slideshow/PresentationMay 08, 2024-- Pablo Gómez Grande
The EU mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’ aims to accelerate Europe's trajectory towards sustainable soil management and restoration. This is considered part of a wider, green transition in rural and urban areas. In this context, the EU-funded PREPSOIL project adopts a proactive approach to co-create with stakeholders and generate long-lasting interaction spaces. The project provides first assessments and efforts concerning improved knowledge base and awareness on soil health and develops its web portal as the European one-stop-shop for all information, resources and digital engagement tools for the Mission stakeholders. PREPSOIL provides direction to the future national soil health monitoring mechanisms and prepares the implementation of regional Living Labs through model business plan guidance.
