The  European Mission Soil Week is an annual event promoting the Horizon Europe Mission 'A Soil Deal for Europe' (Mission Soil) raising awareness about the importance of soil health, and driving action to protect and restore our soils.

This edition of Mission Soil Week adds momentum to the ongoing efforts to improve soil health and provides the place to present and discuss how research and innovation (R&I) on soil health, and the Mission Soil in particular, contributes to:

  • Generate new knowledge
  • Harmonize soil monitoring
  • Co-design innovations and test solutions on the ground
  • Increase societal awareness and engagement
  • Support the green transition in more general terms

The event will allow participants to discover the first Mission Soil living labs and strengthen network collaboration. It will provide the opportunity to see inspiring examples of sustainable soil management by offering field visits to agricultural, forestry, urban and remediation sites.

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’.  RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
