Expand citizen science projects

More discussions with stakeholders of different nature on how tools can be improved from a soil point of view

Foster collaboration between landowners, managers and researchers

Support experiments under real-life conditions in field experiments on research field stations and lighthouse farms

Initiate and support focused scientific work in controlled laboratories and field experiments

On farm step by step experimental set ups which include nature-based solutions, integrating mixed production systems like cover crops, no till, diversity over and underground, grazing strategies, holistic approaches, agroforestry, etc.

Develop business models for farmers willing to apply new ways for improving soil health

Share new insights about soil mechanisms in favour of agroecology to conservative researchers and policy-makers

Share knowledge about resilience when talking about agroecology to all sectors

Integrate governmental regulators in the co-design process to design more socio-economically sustainable solutions and overcome regulatory barriers
