It is estimated that more than 60% of EU soils are unhealthy. The EU Mission “A Soil Deal for Europe” aims to accelerate the transition to healthy soils by 2030. The creation of 100 Living Labs and Lighthouses under the Soil Mission will accelerate the forming and uptake of solutions by land managers and improve citizen awareness. IFOAM Organics Europe is proud to be part of the EU-funded Framework Partnership “SOILL – Support Structure for SOIL Living Labs” that will support this network of Soil Health Living Labs and Lighthouses.

SOILL is led by the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) and counts on 47 partners. The project is currently under Grant Agreement Preparation and is expected to start in January 2024.
