DanskExploitation of synergies with other relevant projects and initiatives, and supporting already existing networks is the decisive key to success, thus key element in Soil-X-Change project:
Work with results of completed projects to draw information and best practices;
Collaborate with ongoing projects to incorporate results, organize common webinars;
Utilize existing networks as channels for the dissemination of project material;
Avoid the duplication of effort.

EJP SOIL
Description: To contribute to an alignment of research strategies connecting agricultural management, soil quality and climate adaptation potential through its summary of the literature, its meta-analysis and its identification of knowledge gaps.
Synergies with Soil-X-Change: Research strategies and gaps will be explored.
Description: BBioNets project builds upon the work of EIP OGs in agricultural and forest biomass management and processing with bio-based technologies (BBTs). BBioNets adopts a multi-actor and quintuple helix model, establishing forest and agriculture networks (FANs) in six EU regions. FANs identify local needs, prioritise specific BBTs, and facilitate the sharing of BBT knowledge and practices with farmers and foresters. This approach enhances sustainable practices and positions Europe at the forefront of farming, forestry, and the bioeconomy.
Synergies with Soil-X-Change: Jointly promotes sustainable land management and bioeconomy practices. Collaboration in workshop to exchange tools and methods for empowering Operational Groups (OGs)
Description: FOREST4EU – European innovation partnership network promoting operational group dedicated to forestry and agroforestry is a Horizon Europe project aiming at connecting existing Operational Groups (OGs) from different countries around Europe, in order to favor the transfer of knowledge and best practices between experts in this field. The main goal of FOREST4EU is to develop a European multi-actor network to promote and disseminate best practices related to the innovation of national forest and agroforestry among EU countries
Synergies with Soil-X-Change: Collaboration in cross-fertilisation workshop co-hosted by BBioNets, where they exchange insights, tools, and methodologies to enhance the impact of forestry-related OGs into the broader soil health, sustainable land management, resource use efficiency and climate resilience.
Description: NUTRI-KNOW aims to improve nutrient management practices in agriculture by gathering and sharing knowledge for the benefit of both farmers and the environment. NUTRI-KNOW seeks to capitalise the knowledge of EIP-AGRI OGs in the field of nutrient management through practice-oriented information for farmers and practitioners.
Synergies with Soil-X-Change: Collaboration in cross-fertilisation workshop co-hosted by BBioNets, where they exchange insights, tools, and methodologies to enhance the impact of OGs in areas of improving nutrient use efficiency, regenerative agriculture and sustainable fertilisation.
Description: AQUAGRI-KNOW advances water-smart agricultural practices and technologies to increase resilience to droughts and optimise water use efficiency. The project analyses OG knowledge, aligns it with regional needs, and delivers through farmer-friendly tools and networks. This structured approach drives practical, lasting change in agricultural water management.
Synergies with Soil-X-Change: Collaboration in cross-fertilisation workshop co-hosted by BBioNets, where they exchange insights, tools, and methodologies to enhance the impact of OGs in areas of water-smart practices, resource use efficiency, climate resilience. This collaboration is further reinforced through co-branded events, joint communication efforts, and mutual support in dissemination, demonstrating a unified commitment to empowering practitioners and accelerating the uptake of sustainable agricultural practices across the EU.
Description: The CREDIBLE project aims to foster faith in carbon farming across the EU. At its core, it seeks to establish a network of networks that will serve as an intricate web connecting initiatives, projects and stakeholders dedicated to transparency, environmental integrity and standardised methodologies in soil carbon accounting. This network, initially scientific in nature, will metamorphose into a driving force for policy changes and business innovations. The project’s overall objectives include the development of a toolbox for advancing carbon farming, standards and policies, carbon monitoring through data repositories and discussions for broader implementation.
Synergies with Soil-X-Change: At the EU level, Soil-X-Change actively contributed to the CREDIBLE project’s session titled “Farmers’ and Regions’ Perspectives on Carbon Farming” during the 2nd Carbon Farming Summit held in Dublin (March 2025). The session provided a space to reflect on the role of farmers, regions, and OGs in the development of inclusive and regionally adapted carbon farming frameworks. The project’s experience with national and regional advisory systems, and its role in connecting practice-driven innovation, added valuable insights to the dialogue.
Description: LILAS4SOILS addresses the challenging climate situation that affects southern European agricultural soils, particularly in the rapidly warming Mediterranean region. The project focuses on implementing Carbon Farming Practices (CFPs) to promote climate adaptation and mitigation. LILAS4SOILS is the only carbon farming Living Lab initiative funded under the EU Mission “A Soil Deal for Europe” (Mission Soil).
Synergies with Soil-X-Change: Joint coordination on international events, shared dissemination through Soil-X-Change’s best practices dashboard and LILAS4SOILS’ Living Lab results, mutual access to Operational Groups and National Nodes in partner countries, support for establishing Living Labs building on OG experience, and coordinated communication and outreach activities.
Description: Climate Farm Demo is a pan-European network of climate-smart demonstration farms that promote knowledge exchange on adaptation and mitigation practices.
Synergies with Soil-X-Change: Soil-X-Change supported the promotion of webinars and knowledge exchange activities through joint communication channels, e.g., highlighting events on grassland management, forage production, and climate adaptation.
