About
HORIZON-MISS-2026-05-SOIL-01-two-stage (Living Labs)
Soil Next bridges the Action Gap in soil restoration: with our SoilEyeAI platform we diagnose and provide the soil food web assessment (diversity, abundance, and maturity) within just 48 hours. We combine automated robotic microscopy and computer vision to deliver these interpreted and detailed assessments of soil microbial and biological health. This rapid turnaround allows Living Labs to move beyond slow, traditional lab cycles and establish the high-frequency longitudinal baselines essential for proving the success of regenerative interventions in real-time.
Beyond diagnostics, our system addresses any key issues through tailored action plans and we provide a pilot ready marketplace that links to verified regenerative remedies (bio-complete compost, mulch etc)
By joining your consortium, we offer a \ready-to-use digital monitoring work package that simplifies soil health for the entire multi-actor ecosystem, from farmers and agronomists to scientific partners looking to validate microbial recovery at scale.
