The European Society for Soil Conservation (ESSC), through a Declaration, encourages the promotion of a new EU Soil Policy within a context of significant changes, challenges and opportunities.
The ESSC, through this document prepared by the past-president José L. Rubio and unanimously approved by all the ESSC Executive Committee and Council members, wishes to transmit both its desire to collaborate with the EU Commission and support for the vision and commitment to protect European soil as a common asset and valuable social, economic and ecological resource. The ESSC has the conviction that enhancing and protecting soil resources is the cornerstone for the future of the Earth and is crucial in terms of enabling soil systems to provide food and water and thus a stable platform for the peaceful and sustainable development of humanity.
The European Society for Soil Conservation (ESSC) is a Pan-European research network which was founded in 1988 and has been continuously active since then. The ESSC includes representatives from all European countries and includes the prominent individuals and institutions actively involved in soil conservation.
