Connecting science and policy for healthy soils in Europe

The main objective of PSOILICY is to strengthen the connection between science and public policy within the context of the European Soil Health Mission. This will be achieved by expanding and operationalising science-policy linkages, supporting the establishment of dedicated national centres, and developing innovative tools that translate knowledge into actionable, evidence-based policies and practices. As a basis for action, PSOILICY will utilise systematic review, stocktaking, strategic coordination and capacity building to understand the needs of stakeholders and ensure that existing science-to-policy mechanisms are harmonised and strengthened.

The project addresses the funding criteria of Horizon Europe: HORIZON-MISS-2025-05-SOIL-08 - Support to the operation and further development of soil-health science-policy interfaces and national soil-health hubs.
