During the “Centennial Celebration and Congress of the International Union of Soil Sciences”https://centennialiuss2024.org/ held in Florence (Italy) from May 19-21, 2024, Alfonso Vera Ayala, from CSIC organization, presented the Waste4Soil in the poster session “From Waste to Wealth: Enhancing Soil Health with Novel Soil improvers – the Waste4Soil project”.
More than 1.500 scientists from all over the world have attended the International Congress, with more than 100 parallel sessions, 1431 abstracts submitted, and more than 100 young scientists who applied for grants. At its core, Waste4Soil aims at developing applicable recycling technical pathways to transform FPR into soil improvers, through a circular, systemic, and multi-actor approach at the regional level.
Central for Waste4Soil project success is in emphasizing collaboration by establishing regional living labs in total 7 Living-Labs located in several macro-regions: Nordic-Baltic (Finland and Poland), Danube & Balkan States (Hungary and Slovenia), and Mediterranean (Greece, Italy, and Spain). The Waste4Soil project aims to develop standardized solutions to help territories’ food systems succeeding their transition towards more sustainability and circularity. However, local contexts are varied across Europe, and it is necessary to consider specificities to propose solutions useable by everyone.
