Soils in spatial planning
This program, "Soils in spatial planning" (HORIZON-MISS-2023-SOIL-01-06), is a key initiative under the Horizon Europe "A Soil Deal for Europe" Mission. It aims to fundamentally shift how soil functions and ecosystem services are integrated into land use and spatial planning decisions. The program fosters sustainable land management, striving for land degradation neutrality and reduced soil sealing in both urban and rural areas, thereby contributing directly to EU Green Deal objectives and global environmental commitments.
