Objective
SoLLico aims to tackle soil health degradation in regions of N and W Africa (NWA) located in or near the Sahelian belt, facing acute soil health degradation, by establishing 12 Community-led Restoration Soil Living Labs (CoRe-SoiLLs) across 6 African countries (Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal, Cape Verde, Ghana, and The Gambia) as real-world hubs to test and scale locally adapted soil restoration solutions, combining indigenous knowledge with scientific innovation. These CoRe-SoiLLs will bring together experts from soil science, agronomy, ICT and social sciences to co-develop agroecological and Nature-based solutions (NBS) for improving soil health. Throughout the project’s 48 months implementation, SoLLico will ensure the active stakeholder engagement —including local communities, policymakers, researchers, smallholders and industry- in the co-creation of solutions for soil health degradation challenges. In addition, a dedicated Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP) scheme will fund 24 local “Soil Stewardship Groups” (SSGs) to demonstrate agroecological practices and NBS, monitor soil health indicators, build local capacity, raise awareness, and receive support for the implementation of co-developed business models (such as voluntary carbon credits), ensuring long-term benefits for the communities. SoLLico responds to the Mission Soil Objectives by contributing to land degradation reduction related to desertification, conserving and increasing soil organic carbon stocks, reducing soil pollution and enhancing restoration, preventing erosion, improving soil structure, and increasing soil literacy in society. By the end of the project, SoLLiCo will have contributed to Europe’s soil health agenda by delivering scalable, region-specific strategies to restore soils in African regions, foster social innovation and support long-term economic viability.
