As we approach the World Soil Day 2023, the spotlight is on the tight relation between soil and water, the lifeblood of our planet. The NATI00NS and PREPSOIL projects have crafted a set of compelling social media cards, each carrying a crucial message about the relations between soil and water, the essence of sustainable soil management, and the urgent need for collective action.

The first round of National Engagement Events (NEE) hosted across 43 EU Member States and Associated Countries as part of the NATI00NS project. These events have played a crucial role in raising awareness of the EU Soil Mission, attracting more than 2400 participants and paving the way for the second round of events scheduled for 2024.

The recent NATI00NS General Assembly took place on 18-19 October 2023, in Novi Sad, in the heart of Serbia. This gathering brought together the project partners for two days of insightful discussions and interactive workshops.

NATI00NS welcomes the achievements of the first two years of EU Soil Mission and looks forward to the launch of pioneering soil health Living Labs in 2024.

The NATI00NS factsheets provide valuable information and insights into the concept of soil health Living Labs and Lighthouses, their significance in promoting sustainable practices, and their role in the EU Mission 'A Soil Deal for Europe'.

The NATI00NS webinars will contribute to raising the awareness of stakeholders on the specific concept of regional soil health Living Labs, the funding available under the Mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’ Living Lab topics as well as the application process.

NATI00NS provides support to potential applicants through a series of activities at national and trans-European level.

Our national engagement events tackle soil health challenges and resilience strategies in EU Member States & Associated Countries. The first round of events kicked off on 1 March 2023 in Spain, paving the way for a range of exciting upcoming happenings across Europe!

The main objective of NATI00NS is reaching out to and preparing regional and national stakeholders across Europe to apply for and implement soil health Living Labs, in support of the EU Mission Soil.
