Historical waste deposits and contaminated sites can pose risks to their surroundings such as densely populated areas, ecosystems and cop production on arable land
Combination of challenges related to multifunctionality of land use and variability of challenges (e.g. contamination, resource use, sealing of land, etc. under the pressures of climate change)
Degradation of soil health and reduction of agricultural productivity due to poor water management practices by industrial activities, resulting in soil salinization and waterlogging
Negative social and environmental impacts due to industrial activities causing contamination and degradation, including reduced agricultural productivity and health risks to local communities
Urban development leads to soil compaction, contamination, and loss of green spaces negatively impacting soil health and limiting community access to healthy environments and recreational areas

Develop PPP (Public-Private Partnerships) for funding
Reconnect citizens and policy-makers in real life settings
Interact and co-create with stakeholders
Address key soil health related problems considering circular economy (e.g. implementing a system that converts agricultural waste - such as crop residues and animal manure - into organic fertilizers through composting and anaerobic digestion)
Support climate change adaptation, and awarenessof higher flood, landslide, erosion, fire risks
