Sommario:
- <p>This deliverable is an overview of the current state of the art of citizen science initiatives and projects on soil health that summarise the collaborative work of the ECHO Task 1.1 (“State of the art on Citizen Science initiatives for monitoring soil health, soil biodiversity and pollution”). It examines the evolution and impact of soil-related citizen science projects, highlighting their role in environmental stewardship and policy development. The report begins with a historical context of soil-focused citizen science projects and reviews, setting the stage for understanding the momentum behind this deliverable. Methodologically, it outlines a multi-faceted approach to select and classify projects presented within the core of the deliverable. The latter shows a thorough overview of identified projects, their objectives, scientific, technological and engagement factors, as well as their influence in the scientific community and beyond. It details the collaborative nature of soil sampling and broader engagement initiatives, emphasising the dual role of citizens as data collectors and active participants in scientific inquiry. Additionally, it discusses non-soil health related citizen science projects for their relevant insights. The deliverable culminates in strategic recommendations, ensuring that ECHO not only contributes valuably to the field of soil health monitoring but also sets a precedent for future citizen science endeavours</p>
