The draft Strategy sets out the pressures on our soils and the priority work areas that Defra have identified on the basis of these pressures. It explains current policy measures which are in place to achieve sustainable soil management and then sets out in broad terms what it is that Defra hope to achieve and some initial steps we intend to undertake in the next few years. |
