Monday May 26, 2025, key stakeholders from across Europe will gather in Brussels at the Committee of the Regions for the PREPSOIL Final Event, marking a major step in advancing soil 
health policies and practices. The event will bring together policy-makers, researchers, and civil society representatives to discuss how the objectives of the Mission Soil and the proposed Soil 
Monitoring Law may be supported and implemented at regional and local scale across EU Member States and the role that regional and local actors can play in promoting sustainable soil 
management.

A Platform for Action and Collaboration
The event will feature expert presentations and interactive panel discussions aimed at equipping regions and local stakeholders with the tools needed to engage in the co-creation for protecting 
and restoring soils.

Four key sessions will explore the implementation of Mission Soil and the proposed Soil Monitoring Law to a national, regional (and sub-regional) scale. This includes the role of Soil Health Living Labs in being co-working spaces for soil health initiatives, and the potential of engaging local communities in soil health awareness and youth engagement.

A Call for Coordinated Action
With soil degradation threatening ecosystems and food security, coordinated action at the regional level is more urgent than ever. The PREPSOIL Final Event will serve as a milestone in 
Europe’s efforts to achieve healthy soils by 2050, offering a platform for knowledge-sharing, strategic planning, and long-term collaboration.

This event is a must-attend for policy-makers, researchers, and practitioners committed to sustainable soil management. Stay tuned for insights and outcomes that will shape the future of Europe’s soil health strategy.
