Grants Detail

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES

There is no life without soils. If soils are healthy and sustainably managed, they provide food, clean water, habitats for biodiversity and other important services while contributing to climate resilience. The mission intends to support Europe’s path to sustainable soil management as part of the wider green transition in urban and rural areas. The mission’s goal is to establish 100 living labs and lighthouses to lead the transition towards healthy soils by 2030 for food, people, nature and climate. 

Expected Results

• Enhanced capacities for mission implementation and use of mission results through efficient knowledge management
• Improved management and recycling of food-processing residues (solid and liquid) for increased soil health
• Better insights into origin, fate and hotspots of pollution are made available to support assessments of hazard, exposure and risks from soil pollution,
• Reduced administrative and financial burden associated with carbon farming management practices,
• Enhanced uptake and development of standards for carbon farming in Europe
• Increased awareness of the importance of soil and its functions, as well as of the Mission objectives, amongst pupils, students and professionals across Europe
