Response to Soil Health Law – protecting, sustainably managing and restoring EU soils

3 Nov 2023

Proposal for an EU Soil Monitoring Law FEEDBACK TO PUBLIC CONSULTATION FROM BALTIC SEA ACTION GROUP AND THE CARBON ACTION/STN MULTA CONSORTIUM November 3, 2023 As a joint contribution of the Finnish Carbon Action platform and multistakeholder community, Baltic Sea Action Group, as the host of the platform, puts forth the following statement on the proposed Soil Monitoring Law as contained in COM(2023) 416 final and its annexes. This feedback is mostly framed in the context of agricultural soils with some observations on forestry soils and focuses on how well the proposed approach and indicators respond to the set objectives. Soil health is the basis of sustainable food systems. Healthy soils are keys also to the health of aquatic ecosystems as well as for climate action locally, regionally and globally. Therefore, we strongly support the background assessment, justification and overall objectives of the Soil Strategy and the proposal for a Soil Monitoring Law as they recognize and stress the soils as vital ecosystems and habitats and providers of multiple ecosystem services. Detailed feedback is provided in the attached file. on behalf of Baltic Sea Action Group, Carbon Action and STN MULTA Kaj Granholm
