Register: EU Soil Monitoring Law
URI: https://data.geoscience.earth/ncl/EUSoilMonitoringLaw
The objective of the Directive is to put in place a solid and coherent soil monitoring framework for all soils across the EU and to continuously improve soil health in the Union with the view to achieve healthy soils by 2050 and maintain soils in healthy condition, so that they can supply multiple ecosystem services at a scale sufficient to meet environmental, societal and economic needs, prevent and mitigate the impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss, increase the resilience against natural disasters and for food security and that soil contamination is reduced to levels no longer considered harmful to human health and the environment. This Directive lays down measures on: (a)monitoring and assessment of soil health; (b)sustainable soil management; (c)contaminated sites.
