Testing of the ERA Hub concept – pilot phase
ClosedCode: 17386 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-WIDERA-2022-ERA-01-30 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Widening Participation and Spreading Excellence (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 19/01/2022 | End submission calls: 20/04/2022

Linking soil health to nutritional and safe food
ClosedCode: 17244 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-MISS-2021-SOIL-02-03 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Missions | Start submission calls: 22/12/2021 | End submission calls: 24/03/2022
Soils are essential for the global food system and regulate water, carbon and nitrogen cycles but are put under pressure from population growth and climate change. The quality of the soil plays a central role in determining food quality as it provides the substrate and building blocks for the growth of plants and their edible food produce, which are then harvested for consumption. There is a need to build on the existing knowledge resulting from the latest EU R&I activities and infrastructures that elicit the link between soil, food, diets and human health.
