Abstract
One of the main objectives of Work Package 7 (WP7) is to develop guidelines for optimal cropping systems and agricultural practices. Accordingly, this deliverable (Deliverable 7.2) presents, in the form of an appendix, a manual outlining the outcomes and key benefits of the most effective agriculturalpractices that foster soil biodiversity, while simultaneously providing advantages for both farmers and society more broadly. This manual showcases the most promising agricultural practices designed to address major agronomic challenges identified across six distinct pedoclimatic regions in Europe: Mediterranean South, Lusitanian, Atlantic Central, Continental, Nemoral, and Boreal. Depending on the specific agronomic challenges or environmental concerns prevalent in each region, the proposed practices contribute to: Promoting soil biodiversity. Reducing the incidence of pests and diseases. Enhancing plant growth and development. Decreasing input use (e.g., fertilisers, pesticides, water, fuel). Increasing soil fertility. Reducing soil and water pollution. Lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Increasing carbon sequestration. Maintaining or even improving farmers’ economic returns. The agricultural practices and cropping systems proposed in this manual are thus expected to enhance both the genetic and functional diversity of soil biota and, consequently, reduce dependence on external inputs (such as fertilisers and pesticides). At the same time, they aim to improve crop yield and quality, reinforce soil ecosystem services, and increase the overall stability and resilience of agricultural systems. This work was funded by the European Commission Horizon 2020 project SoildiverAgro [grant agreement 817819].

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
