Novamont Iberia brings the SOUL project at TERRA'26 in Portugal
SOUL partner Novamont Iberia took part in TERRA’26, held on 9 and 10 September 2026 in Azinhaga, Portugal. This was the first professional event in the country dedicated to regenerative agriculture, and brought together farmers, technical experts and industry players under the theme “Enraizados no Futuro” (“Rooted in the Future”).
During the event, Novamont Iberia presented the SOUL project (Bio-based in Soil applications with Optimal biodegradation in their Ultimate Life) to visitors and professionals from the agricultural sector. The presentation showed how SOUL can support more sustainable farming practices and help protect soil health.
SOUL is co-funded by Horizon Europe through the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU). It is developing 11 bio-based, biodegradable-in-soil product solutions with up to 95% renewable raw materials. The solutions are designed for agriculture, gardening, landscaping, fisheries, leisure and sports.
Events like TERRA’26 give the project a direct line to the people who will use its solutions. They also help gather feedback from the field and raise awareness of biodegradable-in-soil alternatives.
