The EU Soil Health Law

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
  • lay out rules conducive to sustainable soil use and restoration.
