Abstract

Soil conservation law was introduced on a national level in a number of countries in the early 1900s. It now forms an essential component of the world's legal systems and will become increasingly important in the context of managing the effects of climate change. Despite many innovative reforms at national levels, progress toward the development of international law for sustainable use of soil has been slow.
