The prize rewards land use and soil management practices mitigating soil threats i.e. soil degradation, erosion, reduction of organic matter content, diffuse contamination, and compaction as well as the reduction of soil biodiversity, salinization, sealing, flooding and landslides.
The award is bestowed to the winner every year during the Forum for the Future of Agriculture.

- 5.000 € as well as a diploma of recognition are awarded to the winning project every year.
