This is the draft version of a catalogue of agricultural practices that have the potential of improving soil health. This is phrased more elaborately than the title of this catalogue, because application of the described practices will not automatically improve soil health.

Whether or not they will do so, depends on a variety of factors which are addressed in the practice sheets.

The main purpose of this catalogue is providing inspiration for the living labs which are part of the HORIZON EU Soilcrates project activities. These living labs will be implementing experiments with innovative soil improvement practices and this catalogue can help decide on what experiments would be particularly useful to implement as living lab participants.

The information is not complete, but it is meant to provide some overview, and for selected practices more information can be obtained through links to further reading that are provided as well.

Descriptions are relatively short, and for this reason suggestions for further reading are included as well (chapter four). To further inspire decision-making processes in the living labs, a few ‘out-of-the-box’ practices are included in a more concise description as well (chapter three).

This version of the catalogue will be further upgraded based on already planned improvements, elaborations and feedback that readers provide. This work will be continuing over the next few years as part of the mission of SOILCRATES.
