The European Commission has opened a ‘call for evidence’ on soil health – protecting, sustainably managing and restoring EU soils. It asks how are EU soils are doing? What could we do to protect them?
Your feedback will contribute to the development of the European Soil Health Law which aims to specify the conditions for a healthy soil, determine options for monitoring soil and lay out rules conducive to sustainable soil use and restoration.
Soils are crucial for food, nature and our economy and deserve the same level of protection as water, air or the marine environment. The aim of the Soil Health Law proposal announced in the EU soil strategy for 2030 is to:
- specify the conditions for a healthy soil
- determine options for monitoring soil and
- lay out rules conducive to sustainable soil use and restoration.
Feedback period
16 February 2022 – 16 March 2022 (midnight Brussels time)
The Commission would like to hear your views.
This call for evidence is open for feedback. Your input will be taken into account as we further develop and fine-tune this initiative. Feedback received will be published on this site and therefore must adhere to the feedback rules.
