Situation
Soil is the spatially diverse multifunctional skin of the earth and barely forming or regenerating on human time scales. Soil degradation is a priority concern in Europe and beyond; yet, there exist major gaps in societal awareness and education on the importance of soil for humans. There is a need to accelerate the change towards sustainable soil governance and use.
Approche
SOILSCAPE's objectives include: understanding human-soil relations; building a network of more than 120 relevant actors in 8 countries; onboarding at least 320 individuals from the society; providing 1,850,000 € as financial and technical support to CSOs, CCIs, schools, artists, and institutions; distributing 375,000 € as awards and 80 soil literacy certifications to inspiring initiatives; reaching international scales through UNESCO and Coalition of Action for 4 Soil Health
