A Soil Deal for Europe: 100 living labs and lighthouses to lead the transition towards healthy soils by 2030

Life on Earth depends on healthy soils, but they are under threat all over the world.

In Europe, 60%-70% of soils are considered to be unhealthy, making us more vulnerable to food insecurity and extreme weather events. The mission will engage with people and create effective partnerships across sectors and territories to protect and restore soils in Europe and beyond. It will contribute to Green Deal targets relating to sustainable farming, climate resilience, biodiversity, and zero pollution.
