In November 2022, EuChemS responded to the Public Consultation on a possible EU Soil Health Law for protecting, sustainably managing and restoring EU soils.

The consultation intends to address transboundary impacts of soil degradation, secure equal market conditions, promote policy coherence at EU and national level and thus be able to achieve the EU goals on climate change, biodiversity, food security and safety, and water protection, thus contribute to a dedicated legislative proposal on soil health by 2023.

EuChemS emphasized the importance of involving experts and the entire corresponding infrastructure from the Member States in the next steps, who will have crucial role in implementation when it comes to monitoring.
