Our purpose

SOILCRATES consortium includes 21 partners from across the quadruple helix that fully acknowledge the importance of healthy soils and wish to work together on the tasks defined by the EU Mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’.
The ambition of SOILCRATES is to create four sustainable and dynamic Living Labs (LLs), to monitor soil health and biodiversity beyond the state-of-the-art, to enhance soil structure and health, and to increase soil literacy in society.

Our Living Labs (LL)

SOILCRATES aims at establishing 4 regional and interconnected user-centred Living Labs (LLs) in whichactors from the quadruple helix cooperatively improve and monitor soil structure, soil life and crop-growingconditions on mineral agricultural soils while co-creating beyond the state-of-the-art practices to improve soil
health and at the meantime increase soil literacy in society.
