I. Promote sustainable soil management that is relevant to the range of soils present and the needs of the country.
II. Strive to create socio-economic and institutional conditions favourable to sustainable soil management by removal of obstacles. Ways and means should be pursued to overcome obstacles to the
adoption of sustainable soil management associated with land tenure, the rights of users, access to financial services and educational programmes. Reference is made to the Voluntary Guidelines on the
Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Forests and Fisheries in the Context of National Food Security adopted by the Committee on World Food Security in May 2012.
III. Participate in the development of multi-level, interdisciplinary educational and capacity-building initiatives that promote the adoption of sustainable soil management by land users.
IV. Support research programmes that will provide sound scientific backing for development and implementation of sustainable soil management relevant to end-users.
V. Incorporate the principles and practices of sustainable soil management into policy guidance and legislation at all levels of government, ideally leading to the development of a national soil policy.
VI. Explicitly consider the role of soil management practices in planning for adaptation to and mitigation of climate change and maintaining biodiversity.
VII. Establish and implement regulations to limit the accumulation of contaminants beyond established levels to safeguard human health and wellbeing and facilitate remediation of contaminated soils that
exceed these levels where they pose a threat to humans, plants, and animals.
VIII. Develop and maintain a national soil information system and contribute to the development of a global soil information system.
IX. Develop a national institutional framework for monitoring implementation of sustainable soil management and overall state of soil resources.
