The purpose of this study is to explore methods for improving soil biodiversity in the Anthropocene era through the utilization of design. While soil biodiversity plays a vital role in the whole ecosystem, most research has primarily focused on biodiversity above the ground. Furthermore, the significance of incorporating design into these studies has been largely overlooked. To address this gap in knowledge, it is crucial to undertake an interdisciplinary research project that combines the fields of design and soil science. This project employed a mixed research approach, combining Transition Design and Participatory Action Research methodologies. Ultimately, this research aims to develop sustainable solutions for enhancing soil biodiversity through innovative design practices.
