The third European Mission Soil Week, will take place on the 5 - 6 November 2025 in Denmark at Aarhus University, Aarhus.
The event is organised by the Danish Ministry of Green Transition, Aarhus University, and the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development, under the auspices of the Danish Presidency of the Council of the EU.
This third edition of the European Mission Soil Week comes at a pivotal moment for soil policy in Europe. The European Parliament and the Council of the EU have reached a provisional agreement on the Commission’s proposal for an EU Soil Monitoring and Resilience Directive. This represents a major step toward advancing soil protection and restoration across the EU.
The event will bring together once again stakeholders from policymakers, researchers, farmers and other land managers to financial institutions, businesses, philanthropies, and citizens to share knowledge and explore challenges and solutions for sustainable soil management. Through sessions, stands exhibition, and networking, it will foster collaboration, scale innovation, and advance the implementation of the Mission Soil across Europe.
The first day, 5 November, will focus on scaling soil health through new business and investment models. It will highlight the role of the EU Mission Soil in advancing sustainable land management and will bring together policymakers, researchers, practitioners, businesses, investors, and stakeholders committed to healthy soils.
The second day, 6 November, will focus on the role of healthy soils as part of sustainable multifunctional landscapes and will highlight Denmark as an inspirational example for the green transition through initiatives related to climate change mitigation, biodiversity and reduced environmental impact from agriculture, using the recent ‘tripartite agreement’ as a common thread.
The plenary sessions will be livestreamed.
