The ECN was among the many signatories of the Soil Health Law Coalition open letter addressed to the College of Commissioners, joining forces to support the adoption of a progressive Soil Health Directive.
The letter represents an urgent call to action, given the key role that healthy soils play in reaching climate, biodiversity, water and zero pollution targets of the European Green Deal, as well as in supporting the EU’s Farm to Fork objectives and transition to a sustainable food system. The text also provides some general provisions that must be included in the upcoming proposal to make it fit for purpose and build a credible governance framework.
