The Mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’ (Mission Soil) provides funding for research and innovation, is creating a network of living labs and lighthouses to develop real-world solutions, supports a harmonised framework for soil monitoring, and promotes widespread awareness of the paramount significance of soils.
The Mission Soil Manifesto is a call to action from the Mission Soil, aimed at uniting regional and local policymakers, citizens, and stakeholders, such as land managers, farmers, foresters, educators, companies, and researchers, in a voluntary commitment to prioritise and actively work towards improving soil health. Signatories, without the burden of legal obligations, commit to raising awareness, fostering innovation, and taking tangible steps to protect and restore soil.
