englischThe protection of soil and the sustainable management of soils is a precondition for sustainable development, food security and the survival of humankind. Africa is the continent with the least land degradation. Yet, the pressure on soils is already enormous and continuously increasing due to a range of factors, including poverty, over-exploitation, population growth and climate change. Drivers of unsustainable soil management include overstocking, overgrazing, water erosion, landslides, and over-application of agro-chemicals. In light of this, the underlying legal, societal and political conditions have been comparatively analysed in “African Soil Protection Law”. Distinct country studies from Kenya, Cameroon and Zambia serve to comparatively expose the serious impediments of soil in Africa. While mapping out options for model legislation for improved sustainable soil management in Africa, the publication addresses intertwined, interdisciplinary and complex questions pertaining to soils, which may also be of comparative interest to other continents and jurisdictions.

»Sämtliche Beiträge, insbesondere die drei Länderberichte, profitieren sehr von der Expertise der einheimischen Wissenschaftler:innen, die das Projekt für sich gewinnen konnte. Die zusätzliche Einbindung von ortsansässigen Vertreter:innen aus Politik und Verwaltung verleiht der Analyse den Praxisbezug, der das vorliegende Buch mit auszeichnet. Hierdurch wird ein theoretischer Grundstein gelegt, um darauf aufbauend in der Zukunft tatsächlich das angestrebte Modellgesetz für die nachhaltige(re) Bodenbewirtschaftung im Pan-Afrikanischen Parlament zu erarbeiten.«
