Resources
HuMUS is building, elevating, and sharing the knowledge base on soil health. The project provides open access to research outputs, peer-reviewed scientific publications, policy briefs, data reports, fact sheets, visual tools, Territorial Management Agreements, and other results.
Catalogues
HuMUS reviews region-specific policies to create catalogues of best policies and practices for the improvement of soil health. This catalogue systemises experiences and lessons learned from regional and local authorities to improve soil health, increase citizen engagement, and promote the best use of EU funds.
- Best practices in citizen and stakeholder engagement on the implementation of soil health at the municipal and regional levels
- Best practices in sustainable soil management and soil health promotion
- Best practices and public policies to improve soil health, especially co-creative practices with the active involvement of stakeholders and citizens in the decision-making processes that have a high potential for replicability.

Catalogue: Participatory best practices for soil health
Content type: Soil health management practices
This report presents a framework and tools for the implementation of the Soil Mission in European municipalities. It provides information on a participatory organic district approach, the HuMUS methodology, that can be adapted to different scenarios to support the co-implementation of solutions to protect and restore soil health at municipal and territorial (inter-municipal) levels.
Compendium of soil health policies in selected partner countries
Created on: 29 February 2024
Catalogue: Best practices for soil management, Public policies to improve soil health
Content type: Soil health management practices
The research in this compendium aims to identify and analyse existing policies that impact soil health at the European and regional levels in order to give a range of policy scenarios in both Eastern and Western Europe, regardless of EU membership. The nine focus regions, in eight countries (Bulgaria, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, North Macedonia, Slovenia, Spain), were selected from states that are represented in the HuMUS consortium in order to have direct connection and understanding of the regional political landscape.
