The main objective of NATI00NS is to facilitate the deployment of the EU Soil Mission across EU Member States and Associated Countries during most of its first ‘induction and pilot’ phase (2021-2025). NATI00NS acts as a messenger of the Mission, raising awareness among national and regional stakeholders, providing access to quality-checked capacity-building materials and information, spurring the discussions on the best Living Lab setups to address regional soil needs, and fostering early matchmaking for cross-regional LL clusters.
Paving the way of the European Partnership for Sustainable Food SystemAbout HuMUS
As part of the EU Mission Soil, the Healthy Municipal Soils (HuMUS) project engages and activates municipalities and regions to protect and restore soil health. Municipalities are at the forefront of local soil management, regulation, innovation, and community-building and thus are pivotal to deploying the Soil Mission on the ground. In addition to raising awareness about the importance of healthy soils – the basis of all human economies – the project empowers communities to create suitable local solutions for themselves.
European innovation partnership network promoting operational group dedicated to forestry and agroforestry is a Horizon Europe project aiming at connecting existing Operational Groups (OGs) from different countries around Europe, in order to favour the transfer of knowledge and best practices between experts in this field.
Have been financed with regional funds in some countries (Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, UK and Slovenia) in order to create partnerships among forestry and agroforestry stakeholders for innovating the forestry sector. However, most of the OG’s results were only disseminated at the local and regional levels, without crossing national borders.
The socioeconomical changes in forest ownership in Europe, joint with the threats of climate change and other changes, like the urbanization process, agriculture intensification and others, result in land abandonment, landscape homogenization, forest holdings fragmentation, forest decay, increase of fire risk, loss of forest habitat and reduction of many ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration, timber production, recreation, and biodiversity conservation.
