This study aims to identify critical soil health challenges in Southwest Europe, focusing on the Granada region, using an innovative quadruple helix approach that unites insights from scientists, local stakeholders, industry, and government entities. Given the widespread issues affecting soils in this area—including structural degradation, biodiversity loss, and reduced agricultural productivity—our project seeks a comprehensive understanding of these localized challenges to inform sustainable solutions. The first step of this work will conduct surveys with key stakeholders who rely on soil for their activities, including farmers and cooperatives in the Granada region. These surveys will aim to identify and understand the specific soil health challenges they face, such as soil degradation and nutrient loss. Additionally, we will gather information to understand basic aspects that will inform the design and implementation of effective strategies to improve soil health. By collecting this data, we aim to develop sustainable solutions tailored to local needs and enhance collaboration among the various actors involved in soil management.Findings from this study will directly contribute to the goals of SOILCRATES by supporting the development of science-backed, sustainable management strategies that address the specific needs of this region. Our approach will empower stakeholders in Granada with actionable, innovative solutions to mitigate soil degradation and protect the agricultural resources aligns with the EU Mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’.
