🪱🌱🥕 Ahead of the plenary vote, we urge MEPs to officially endorse the law. Given the dire state of our soils, an EU policy framework as common ground to protect them is urgently needed. Healthy, living soils are the basis of all life.

📣🪱 Tomorrow the ENVI Committe votes on the #SoilLaw. As a compromise text was reached among @europarl.europa.eu @eucouncil.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu after months of debate and concessions, this should be a formality. The vote should bring us a step closer to healthier soils in Europe.
