Empowering Soil Innovation: The PREPSOIL Toolbox Helps Living Labs Grow

A powerful new resource is now available for soil health innovators: the PREPSOIL Toolbox for Soil Living Lab Growth is live on the PREPSOIL website, offering tailored guidance and practical tools to help Living Labs and Lighthouse initiatives thrive.

Developed to support soil health initiatives, the PREPSOIL Toolbox is an easily accessible online platform designed to accelerate progress for both new and established soil health initiatives. Whether you're launching a new Living Lab or refining an existing Lighthouse initiative, this toolbox provides structured support to help you grow with purpose and impact.

Created in close collaboration with active initiatives across Europe, the toolbox reflects real-world needs and has been refined through continuous feedback. For early-stage projects, it offers clear resources to guide development and scale up effectively. For mature initiatives, it helps pinpoint areas where further refinement can enhance results and alignment with EU mission goals.

What’s Inside the Toolbox?

The toolbox includes:

• In-depth reports and guidance documents
• Online tools to support evaluation and planning
• Web resources tailored to key stakeholders
• Practical materials focused on the EU Mission Soil criteria
