Soil Action Plan
The First Soil Action Plan for England (2004-2006) provided us with a good foundation but there is still much to be done to improve the management of soils to deliver a wide range of benefits to society and to improve the measures we use to achieve this. A draft Soil Strategy for England is currently out for public consultation, to succeed the First Soil Action Plan for England.
The draft Soil Strategy for England takes stock of progress under the Action Plan, as well as taking forward emerging priorities for soil protection on maintaining soil carbon and the recycling of organic wastes to land.
Consultation
Defra issued a public consultation on the draft Soil Strategy for England on 31 March 2008. The consultation sought to obtain views on Defra’s proposals.
