Sustainable agriculture has become an urgent priority as the world grapples with challenges of climate change, soil degradation, and food insecurity. The soil is the foundation of all agricultural practices,and its health is key to the success of farming. However, traditional approaches to soil management have often been insufficient to address the complex challenges facing farmers today.

Enter the concept of Living Labs, which offer an innovative approach to sustainable agriculture. Living Labs are collaborative spaces where researchers,farmers, and other stakeholders can work together to develop and test new practices and technologies in real-world settings. Living Labs provide an opportunity to combine scientific knowledge with practical experience to create innovative solutions that are tailored to local conditions.

Soil health is a central focus of many Living Labs around the world. These labs aim to improve soil health by promoting practices that build soil organic matter, increase biodiversity, and enhance nutrient cycling. They also aim to reduce the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, which can harm soil health over the long term.
