Legal Pathways to Sustainable Soil Management in Africa

This publication is based on a project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) on a “Model Law for Sustainable Soil Management in Africa”. One of the key findings of the research underscores the urgent need for more comprehensive soil protection laws and coordinated efforts to tackle the root causes of soil degradation in Africa. It highlights legal pathways to improve soil management and ensure the long-term sustainability of Africa’s soil resources. The book provides an in-depth analysis of soil protection efforts across various African countries, including Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Kenya, Madagascar, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Uganda, and Zambia.
