DeepHorizon Project

DEploying Ecosystemic solutions to imProve soil Health and the critical ZONe uncOveRing subsoil functions in Critical Zone

Overview

The DeepHorizon project is an ambitious and innovative endeavor funded within the Horizon-MISS-2023-SOIL-01 call for proposals. This innovative project seeks to transform our understanding, monitoring and assessment of the subsoil in Europe. With such promising prospects for the future of soil science and sustainable land management methods, DeepHorizon is unique in terms of its cross-participating approach to some leading European research institutes, companies, land managers, as well as environmental NGOs alongside academic institutions.

The project aims to improve below-ground function through the use of ecosystem-based approaches targeted at improving soil health and resiliency. By working in an often-overlooked area beneath the topsoil layer, DeepHorizon tackles environmental challenges that are notorious for their importance with respect to Climate change and agricultural sustainability: Soil degradation & nutrient leachate into water scarcity as well as biodiversity loss.

Within the framework of interdisciplinary research, DeepHorizon aims at developing a pool of innovative tools and methodologies. They will help detect and optimize vital biological, chemical and physical processes that support the restoration and protection of subsea ecosystems. The project also aims to influence policy development and stakeholder involvement through an effective dissemination and communication strategy in order to meet high-impact results that will stake quite an influence on policy and practical applications.

Expected outcomes from this project include major advantages such as increased crop production, a better water management system, as well as increased carbon storage, all of which will support the common goals of the environmental and agricultural policy of the European Union. This project is more of development on a pathway towards a sustainable and resilient future for the immediate benefit of all.

Accompany us as we insights into the immensity of the subsurface and instigate forward-thinking solutions to modern-day environmental challenges.
