NBSOIL Final Projects Showcase
Join this free interactive online meeting to hear about novel research into nature-based solutions by students of the NBSOIL Academy.
Join this free, interactive online meeting to hear about novel research into nature-based solutions conducted by students of the NBSOIL Academy, and how these solutions can be deployed to tackle soil health challenges.
Background
NBSOIL is a Soil Mission Horizon project training new advisers in deploying six rigorously-tested nature-based methods – paludiculture, blue-green infrastructure, cover crops, organic fertiliser, bioremediation and forest diversification – to address critical soil threats. Through an innovative blended learning programme, NBSOIL is training a new generation of soil advisors and providing tools and resources to put nature-based solutions (NBS) into action for sustainable soil management.
The NBSOIL Academy’s Final Projects provided a unique opportunity to put students’ skills to the test and create a tangible advice plans for implementing Nature Based Solutions in specific contexts. They have been an excellent opportunity for existing or aspiring soil advisors to test their knowledge, receive expert mentorship and develop networks along the way.
What to expect:
In this online event we will hear from leaders of the NBSOIL Academy and 4 student final project presentations from students based in Italy, Sweden, Estonia and France.
Join:
- Vito Abbruzzese, Italy: A Comparative Study of Two Nature-based Solutions to Enhance Soil Carbon Sequestration - Biochar Application vs Agroforestry
- Margit Laanpere, Estonia: Soil Health Restoration Strategy for Kasaritsa Market Garden - Strategic Fallow & Biological Remediation (2026–2028)
- Marei Hacke, Sweden: Archaeology in rewetted wetlands
- Julien Thevenin, France: Regeneration of a clay-limestone soil in an arid Mediterranean climate through nature-based solutions - Mes Jardins au Naturel
The event will also be an opportunity for students of the NBSOIL Academy to give feedback on the learning resources and Final Project process.
