Alpine Living Labs for Soil Health of Alpine Pastures

Objectif

Alpine pastures cover about 15% of the Alpine region and are vital for livestock farming, biodiversity conservation, hazard protection, cultural heritage, and sustainable tourism. Yet these ecosystems face major pressures: soil compaction, erosion, loss of organic matter, climate extremes, abandonment, shrub encroachment, and conflicts between intensification and traditional management. ALL4Pastures addresses these challenges through a network of Living Labs across five Alpine countries (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Slovenia), creating collaborative spaces where farmers, scientists, stakeholders, and policymakers co-develop solutions using a participatory multi-actor approach. The consortium unites 21 partners in an interdisciplinary alliance of soil science, sociology, history, and multimedia communication.
The project promotes soil health via monitoring, improved information, and reduced erosion; develops soil-friendly vegetation management; preserves soil fertility and forage for livestock; and raises awareness of soil as a social and cultural resource. Four scientific work packages (soil monitoring, socio-economics, innovative management, and policy) interact closely with the Living Labs, which foster participatory research, knowledge exchange, and capacity building. Two additional work packages ensure coordination and dissemination. Methods combine harmonized soil sampling, stakeholder workshops, field experiments, and digital tools (e.g. remote sensing) to generate robust, comparable data, while collaborative processes guarantee locally adapted, science-based solutions.
Dissemination will deliver practical handbooks, multimedia resources, workshops, and policy dialogues, ensuring outcomes reach audiences from farmers to European decision makers. ALL4Pastures will enhance soil monitoring, stewardship, and the long-term sustainability of Alpine pastures, strengthening ecosystem services, rural livelihoods, and their cultural and ecological value.
