Descripción del proyecto
Una caja de herramientas para el cultivo sostenible y la salud del suelo
Sin suelo no hay vida. Si los suelos están sanos y se gestionan de forma sostenible, proporcionan alimentos, agua limpia, hábitats para la biodiversidad y otros servicios importantes. Además, contribuyen a la resiliencia climática. En este contexto, el proyecto NOVASOIL, financiado con fondos europeos, destacará los beneficios de invertir en el suelo para la sociedad y el medio ambiente. Su equipo desarrollará una caja de herramientas de buenas prácticas, modelos y casos de negocio procedentes de diferentes zonas de dentro y fuera de Europa. El objetivo principal es fomentar la gestión sostenible del suelo en diferentes usos de la tierra y condiciones climáticas al tiempo que se promueve la salud del suelo. La caja de herramientas de NOVASOIL se desarrollará bajo la dirección de un equipo multidisciplinar de expertos con conocimientos especializados en la creación de modelos de negocio relacionados con la salud del suelo basados en la gestión sostenible de suelos y cultivos.

The main expected outcome of the project is a toolbox for the analysis of suitability of different business cases that promote soil health. This toolbox will be based on a set of good examples from Europe and other countries and the needs and demands from the society. The toolbox will include a categorisation of the models and business cases taking into account: a) sustainable soil management under different land uses and climatic conditions; b) products based on practices promoting soil health; c) consumption and certification practices conductive: d) the reuse of land and e) sustainable soil management in the context of the EU Taxonomy Regulation.
For that, NOVASOIL is composed by a multidisciplinary team with a large experience on European and national projects focus on soil health and business models. As well as, NOVASOIL will built a Community of Practice around project objectives in order to co-develop soil health business models and the tool-box for incentives taking into account their needs and demands.
NOVASOIL is organised in 5 WPs plus coordination following the expected objectives and impacts of the call. The first step is to develop a conceptual framework of soil health and business. This framework will nurture other WPs in order to develop in the same way all the expected objectives. The soil health business models will analyse current successful experiences in Europe and outside Europe in order to categorise them taking into account their variability. In addition, NOVASOIL includes 13 Case Studies with business models that promote soil quality and products based on sustainable crop and soil management.
On the other hand, an analysis of current policies related will be carried out in order to provide suggestions and improvement that facilitate the implementation of these soil health business.
