More than half of Europe's soils are degraded by pollution, erosion, and compaction, among other problems, and, in a climate change scenario, this degradation is likely to worsen. Currently, the loss of soil quality is costing an estimated €50 billion per year. However, soil health is still considered an abstract concept that cannot be introduced into financial activities and on which it is very difficult to legislate. The objective of InBestSoil is to co-create a framework for investment in conservation and recovery of soil health, by developing an economic valuation system of the ecosystem services delivered by a healthy soil and the impacts of soil interventions, and its incorporation into business models and incentives. This will allow public and private organizations to give economic value to their actions over soil health, codesign strategies with local stakeholders, and work collectively to deliver national and EU policy ambitions. InBestSoil will provide data, evidence, tools and models to assess how investment in soil health can contribute to the transition to a long-term resilient and sustainable use of soil, using 6 lighthouses and 3 living labs, which provides a total of 9 study areas across 4 biogeographic regions from Europe (Boreal, Continental, Atlantic, Mediterranean), and different land uses (agriculture, forest, urban, mining), as models for co creation and co-design (multi-actor approach, responsible research and innovation and open science). This 48-month project will involve twenty partners from ten countries, with very different profiles (universities, small and medium-sized enterprises, consultancies, farmers, and NOGs, among others). This design will facilitate the scaling up of results and their internationalisation, facilitating investments in soil health for companies, public administrations and investment groups around the globe.

欧洲一半以上的土壤被污染，侵蚀和压实等问题降解，在气候变化的情况下，这种退化可能会恶化。目前，土壤质量的损失估计每年耗资500亿欧元。但是，土壤健康仍然被认为是一个抽象的概念，无法引入财务活动，并且很难立法。 Inbestsoil的目的是通过开发由健康土壤提供的生态系统服务的经济价值体系以及土壤干预措施及其行业及其行业对商业模式和激励措施的影响，共同创建用于保护和恢复土壤健康的投资框架。这将使公共和私人组织能够对他们对土壤健康的行动，与当地利益相关者进行代码策略的行动，并共同努力实现国家和欧盟政策野心。 InBestSoil will Provide data, evidence, tools and models to assess how investment in soil health can contribute to the transition to a long-term resilient and sustainable use of soil, using 6 lighthouses and 3 living labs, which provides a total of 9 study areas across 4 biogeographic regions from Europe (Boreal, Continental, Atlantic, Mediterranean), and different land uses (agriculture, forest, urban, mining), as models for共同创建和共同设计（多演员方法，负责任的研究与创新以及开放科学）。这个为期48个月的项目将涉及来自十个国家的二十个合作伙伴，这些伙伴具有截然不同的概况（大学，中小型企业，顾问，农民和Nogs等）。这种设计将促进成果及其国际化的扩展，并为全球公司，公共行政管理和投资集团的土壤健康投资提供支持。
