The BioSoilutions project aims to reduce soil degradation and improve the management of organic waste generated in the city and its surrounding area. To achieve this, the project will increase the use of soil amendments, reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, and promote the circular economy.

BioSoilutions
-
This Horizon Europe project provides sustainable alternatives derived from biological waste through a circular economy approach. Within the framework of the project, the partners validate and optimize four value chains to produce at least five market-ready soil solutions from biological waste.
-
The Living Labs are located in Flanders, Valencia, and Murcia.
Pilot in València
BioSoilutions develops four waste valorization pathways to produce soil improvers from animal blood, municipal organic waste, and two chemical compounds (N-struvite and K-struvite) recovered from wastewater treatment plants.
Soil degradation is considered a global emergency. Between 60% and 70% of soils in the European Union are degraded as a result of unsustainable management practices and the excessive use of synthetic chemicals.
In Valencia, a Living Lab focused on soil health is being implemented.
