Imagine if everyone understood that soil is a living skin for the planet, not just dirt. This project creates easy-to-follow guides and high-tech tools like virtual reality to teach people how to keep soil healthy. It's like building a bridge between complex lab science and the people actually working the land.
There is a significant awareness gap regarding soil health, meaning people do not understand how soil impacts their lives or business. This leads to poor land management and a lack of skilled professionals capable of implementing soil-health strategies.
An Atlas of Soil Education, VR/AR educational applications, and co-created teaching modules for various education levels.
If you are a digital farming tool provider dealing with low user adoption of soil-health features — this project developed VR/AR applications and teaching modules that can be integrated into user onboarding to increase customer value.
If you are an environmental consultancy dealing with a lack of standardized soil training for junior staff — this project developed an Atlas of Soil Education and pedagogical techniques to speed up professional capacity building.
If you are an EdTech content creator dealing with a gap in science curricula for secondary schools — this project developed co-created courses and modules on soil health that can be licensed or adapted for commercial educational platforms.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information is provided as this is an EU-funded research project.
The project is designed for broad scale across 15 pilot regions in 16 countries, suggesting the materials are built for wide European deployment.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned; however, the project focuses on co-creation and knowledge exchange.
The project identifies gaps in current programs and provides targeted recommendations and resources to public authorities for improved integration.
The project period runs from 2023-06-01 to 2026-05-31.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward academic and research institutions (10 universities, 1 research center), but maintains a 15% industry ratio with 3 industrial partners and 5 SMEs. This balance suggests a strong focus on pedagogical validity backed by a small but necessary group of commercial actors to ensure practical applicability.
