This grant funds projects to develop, test, and demonstrate practical, scalable solutions—including agroecology and nature-based strategies—to improve soil resilience to extreme weather events and support food security. Activities are expected to enhance soil monitoring, support adoption of tailored soil management practices, promote sustainable farming, and strengthen agricultural resilience at farm and landscape level. Proposals must include integrated frameworks for replication, an assessment methodology for soil ecosystem services under stress, strong stakeholder involvement, and mechanisms for knowledge transfer and collaboration with the EU Soil Observatory and the SoilWise project.
