Transformative living labs for soil health: advancing regenerative and conservation agriculture across Europe

The main objective of "TRAILS4SOIL" is to drive the transformation of European agriculture towards resilient, sustainable and climate-friendly systems. For this, a network of five Living Labs (LLs) will be jointly created, implemented and scaled up in diverse European agroecosystems.

The project will follow a participatory research and innovation approach that prioritises the involvement of primary producers in the adoption of sustainable practices.
