Soil needs and drivers of change across Europe and land use types

The European Union’s Soil Mission implementation plan lists multiple societal needs from healthy soils. To meet these demands PREPSOIL is supporting the implementation of the Soil Mission by creating awareness and knowledge on soil needs among stakeholders in regions across Europe. PREPSOIL aims to increase awareness of Living Labs as a means of involving stakeholders in soil enhancements across various land use categories (agriculture, forest and natural, urban and post-industrial). Within the framework, as a first step towards developing a long-term collaboration with stakeholders, a stock taking of soil needs in 20 representative regions are conducted. The booklet presents the summary and key recommendations from this analysis.
