Work Packages & Deliverables

Leave this empty

This work package (WP) will gather existing knowledge regarding nature-based solutions (NBS) for soils and soils as NBS for climate change mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity recovery, reduction of fossil fuels and synthetic inputs dependence, disaster prevention, food security, and employment creation in the agricultural, forestry and urban planning sectors. This WP will work with WP2 to provide soil advisors with a coherent approach to soil sampling, testing and data gathering capacity in support of the Soil Mission Objectives.
