Horizon Soil & Climate Adaptation Missions: Extreme-Weather Resilience
Funds two €10M projects that test and scale soil-resilience solutions across at least three EU regions, run jointly by the Soil and Climate Adaptation Missions.
Extreme weather is wearing soil down faster than farmers can fix it. Floods and heavy rain wash it away or waterlog it; droughts and heatwaves dry out organic matter and kill off the microbes that keep it alive; sudden frosts and temperature swings add more damage on top. The result is lower yields, less reliable harvests, and a real risk to food security — not in theory, but on working farmland t…
Developing, testing and physically demonstrating solutions that make soil hold up under extreme weather — floods, droughts, heatwaves, unseasonal frosts — while protecting food security. Winning proposals combine agroecology and nature-based approaches at farm, landscape and governance level, run real demonstrations in at least 3 regional or local authorities across 3 different EU Member States or Associated Countries, and build a replicable method other regions can pick up and use.
