Soils policy is about more than just government activity. Indeed, we campaign for action and policy change by a wide range of players: farming, urban and woodland; corporate and agency; national, regional and local; voluntary and regulatory.
Stakeholder events have been a cornerstone of our campaigning activities since our launch in 2017.
We respond to calls for evidence to ensure that soil health is at the heart of this decision-making with views representative of our Science Panel, Strategic Advisory Board and broader membership
