General project objective:
The SoilTribes project aims to create and support multi-actor communities united by a common understanding of the importance of soil. These "tribes" will develop a deep connection with soil, based on relevant knowledge and an action-oriented approach, recognizing the essential role everyone plays in protecting this vital ecosystem. The project blends science, technology, art, and society to inspire a "return to Earth"—a mindset shift translated into new ways of understanding, feeling, and acting in response to the challenges related to soil health and its future, which is closely linked to our own.
Hygia involvement:
- Project Management: Planning, implementing, and monitoring activities and outcomes within the SoilTribes project to ensure the achievement of set objectives while maintaining quality standards and meeting deadlines.
- Financial Management: Responsible administration of the budget, efficient allocation of funds, and careful monitoring of expenditures within AgroTransilvania Cluster.
