Soil in policy around the UK

Our soils are influenced by a wide range of government policies including farming regulations and enforcement, investment in research and monitoring and the provision of official advice, training and guidance. Brexit means that governments in all four devolved nations now have the opportunity and responsibility to weave these elements together into policy frameworks that ensure we safeguard and improve our soils for future generations and ensure we meet international environmental commitments.

A nation that destroys its soil, destroys itself." President Franklin Roosevelt
