After six years of intensive collaboration and research, the SoildiverAgro project has officially concluded. While the project’s activities have come to an end, its legacy continues through a wide variety of results, tools, and resources designed to support a more sustainable and profitable farming systems.
SoildiverAgro brought together farmers, researchers, and stakeholders from across Europe to explore how soil biodiversity can drive innovation in agriculture and improve soil health. Through 15 case studies conducted across six diverse pedoclimatic regions (Nemoral, Boreal, Atlantic Central, Continental, Lusitanean, and Mediterranean) we examined real-world farming systems and collaborated closely with local actors to co-create solutions rooted in science and practice.
These results are now available in various formats and tools, tailored to support farmers, advisors, researchers, and policymakers. All resources are publicly accessible via our Toolbox Kit and Zenodo Community.
These materials include:
-
115 Practice Abstracts: available in English and local languages, these provide practical guidance for implementing innovative soil-friendly practices in the field.
-
Best Management Practices Guidelines: a comprehensive manual compiling the most effective agricultural practices identified through the project’s case studies.
-
Decision Support Tool (DST): a free, web-based application developed to assist farmers and stakeholders optimize wheat cropping systems and soil management practices.
-
White Paper on Policy Recommendations: a comprehensive document which aligns proposed agricultural strategies with EU and regional policy frameworks.
-
6 Policy Briefs: tailored to each pedoclimatic region, these documents highlight local challenges, sustainable practices applied, and the observed benefits to soil biodiversity.
-
Regional Communities and Case Studies Booklet: a compilation of the local actions and lessons learned across the project’s diverse geographical focus areas.
-
21 Scientific Publications:a collection of peer-reviewed studies contributing to the academic and technical foundation of sustainable soil management.
- Books and posters: a collection of books and posters developed from specific case studies, showcasing practical insights and regional approaches to sustainable soil management.
-
Best management practices video series: a dedicated video series highlighting the best management practices from each region.
-
Related videos: watch a wide variety of videos on our YouTube channel including field visits, interviews and other activities.
