About TRAILS4SOIL
We are a major new European research project investigating how to restore soil health and support the long-term productivity, environmental sustainability, and economic viability of farms.
We work closely with farmers and land managers across a network of 100 experimentation sites in nine European countries to provide large-scale evidence on the impacts of Regenerative and Conservation Agriculture.
We will develop innovative business models, training, and collaboration programmes to drive the widespread adoption of effective farming practices across Europe and support the transformation of European agriculture towards more resilient, sustainable, and climate-smart farming.
