The main expected outcome of the project is a toolbox for the analysis of suitability of different business cases that promote soil health. This toolbox is based on a set of good examples from Europe and other countries and the needs and demands from the society.
The toolbox will include a categorisation of the models and business cases taking into account:
- Sustainable soil management under different land uses and climatic conditions.
- Products based on practices promoting soil health.
- Consumption and certification practices conductive.
- The reuse of land.
- Sustainable soil management in the context of the EU Taxonomy Regulation.
Project activities include:
- Developing a portfolio of multidimensional business cases and good examples of investment in soil health in Europe and beyond.
- Analysing of existing models in the world, which allows creating new incentives and new revenues from healthy soils.
- Applying a co-evolutionary approach to modelling that promotes soil health; d) develop a set of stimulus prototypes and a test network.
- Analysing of current policies and technologies related to soil health and farm income provision; f) develop a community of practice around soil health investors and key actors.
- Increasing interest in soil health through a digital marketing strategy plan.
