The SOILCRATES project announces the selection of the first wave of farm-based pilot projects funded under its Financial Support to Third Parties (or FSTP) Request for Applications. Following the evaluation process, projects have been selected across France, Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain, and will be implemented within the framework of the four SOILCRATES Living Labs.
The objective of the FSTP call is to assist locally driven, practice-based experiments that tackle soil health issues in rural and agricultural settings. Additional funding rounds will be launched at later stages of the project.
