Project objectives
SOILPROM is committed to advancing soil health and reducing environmental impact across Europe by:
- 1. Model Enhancement: Upgrading and integrating existing models for accurate pollutant transport and fate analysis under real-world conditions.
- 2. Accessible Insights: Providing open-access to state-of-the-art soil pollution models and databases through our Modelling Platform, complemented by a user-friendly Decision Support Tool.Accessible Insights: Providing open-access to state-of-the-art soil pollution models and databases through our Modelling Platform, complemented by a user-friendly Decision Support Tool.
- 2. Scenario Development: Creating model-based scenarios to optimize soil functions and ecosystem services, aiding in the prevention and reduction of pollution.
- 3. Stakeholder Engagement: Delivering tailored recommendations to local and EU stakeholders, fostering the adoption of effective management practices to mitigate soil pollution.
Expected outcome
Our primary goal is to significantly reduce soil pollution in Europe by innovating and implementing sustainable soil management practices. By enhancing ecosystem health and resilience, we aim to secure a cleaner and more sustainable environment for future generations.
