The fourth day of GSS6 – Soil Security & Health Advances will be dedicated to a full-day field excursion showcasing key landscapes and management systems in Andalucía that illustrate contemporary challenges and opportunities in soil security and soil health. Participants will visit a series of sites selected to demonstrate:

                                              -Soil condition and degradation processes in Mediterranean environments.
                                              -Agricultural production systems and their interaction with soil condition/health.
                                              -Natural capital, connectivity, and landscape-scale soil processes.
                                              -Practical approaches to soil conservation, restoration, and monitoring.
                                              -Policy-relevant case studies linking science, land management, and governance.

The excursion will provide opportunities for in situ discussion with researchers, practitioners, and land managers, allowing participants to connect symposium themes with real-world contexts. Transport will be provided, with departure from the conference venue at 07:00 and return by 17:00. 

This field day is intended as a capstone to the symposium, reinforcing the integration of science, practice, and policy through direct engagement with soil and landscapes of regional and global significance.
