Soil Pollinator Health
UNDERSTAND  MANAGE  PROTECT

OUR GOALS

ProPollSoil‘s ultimate goal is to protect and restore soils and their associated soil-dependent pollinators. This will be tackled by protecting the few remaining healthy soil and pollinator islands, enhancing pollinator habitat across different types of managed soils (e.g. in agricultural areas), and targeting biodiversity loss directly with specific counteracting interventions.

For impact contributions to be sustainable and significant, we will leverage ecological, management and socio-economic knowledge, providing a holistic approach bridging science with stakeholders.

IMPACTS

We have identified 5 clear pathways that will lead us towards our goals:

  1. Open new knowledge
    Gather and share the first comprehensive data on the hidden links between soil and pollinators.
  2. Work together with people on the ground
    Build long-term hubs that bring farmers, researchers, policymakers and communities together to create and apply real-world solutions.
  3. Connect the dots
    Strengthen collaboration across existing and new EU projects focused on soils and pollinators.
  4. Boost understanding
    Raise awareness and knowledge of soils and pollinators among all stakeholders, from citizens to decision-makers.
  5. Inform better policies
    Improve how science and policy interact to create smarter, more coordinated environmental strategies.
