Summary
European soils face significant health challenges, with 60-70% deemed unhealthy due to pollution, urbanization, intensive agriculture, and climate change. This degradation has severe economic, societal, and environmental impacts, such as decreased land productivity, migration, land abandonment, and biodiversity loss. Addressing these issues, the EU plans to implement a project establishing six Soil Health Living Labs (SHELLs) in Sweden, Spain, Spain-France, Italy, Greece, and Bulgaria. These labs will function as innovation hubs, focusing on soil restoration and health objectives. The initiative, iCOSHELLs, emphasizes stakeholder engagement, capacity building, bridging science and practice, understanding soil indicators, and replicating successful soil recovery methods. It also aims to redefine Living Labs through co-creation and real-world applications, evolving them into standardized, widely recognized entities. Additionally, iCOSHELLs will serve as a comprehensive soil data repository to foster collaboration and ensure replicability.
