Growing media: Towards an EU policy framework fit for purpose

Jun 5, 2026 | News, Publications

Overview and purpose:

The Brussels Policy Scoping Workshop of the 3rd of March 2026 was organised by the SPINFERT and Hort2thefuture Horizon Europe projects funded under the Mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’. It brought together EU policymakers, industry stakeholders, and academic partners to identify shared research outcomes and align them with EU policy needs. This Brief synthesises the key findings and policy-relevant messages arising from the workshop relating to growing media, while recognising that not every partner of each project may endorse all conclusions.

The policy brief is available here.
