It addresses the national and regional levels of soil governance, together with an explanation of the existing regulatory structure at the international level. As sustainable management of soils is inextricably linked to and carried out based on the conditions specific to a location, national regulation is most essential. To provide more specific insights, this chapter also explores - in an excursus - soil governance in Germany and an assessment of the tools and sources of information, including databases. The interlinkage of international trade law and sustainable soil management is also explained. © 2022 Elsevier1 Online-Ressource (14 Seiten)online resourceenghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Biologische VielfaltKlimaAbbauWissenschaftlicher Artikel
