The PREPSOIL Business Model Canvas (BMC) for Living Labs (LLs) & Lighthouses (LHs) in the Mission Soil is a tailor-made tool that considers the specificities of Soil LLs and LHs to support and inspire these initiatives to find a strategy for their long-term sustainability. [read more]
To achieve this, the PREPSOIL BMC offers practical examples based on different exercises conducted in the PREPSOIL project. These examples can be found below and can be filtered according to different soil uses (agriculture, forestry, (post-)industrial, and (peri-)urban), as well as different elements, and spheres of intervention within each of the elements.
These examples are to serve as guidance and inspiration for the design of Business Models for Soil LLs, acknowledging the uniqueness of each of them in terms of the ambition, capacities, and context in which the LL operates.
For more information on the BMC methodology please see PREPSOIL Report on LL/LH business model plans (D4.2)
For a step-by-step guide on how to use the BMC see Business Model Canvas for Soil Living Labs and Lighthouses: A guide for users

Urban LLs may transform city landscapes by revitalizing soil health through innovative green infrastructure and community engagement. The LL can create sustainable, biodiverse urban environments that enhance water management, boost local food production, and foster healthier communities. By partnering with different stakeholders, cities can improve their resilience to climate change, increase property values, and provide their residents with attractive, functional green spaces that support both environmental and social well-being
