The European Soil Partnership

The European Soil Partnership (ESP) is part of the Global Soil Partnership (GSP), a network of seven regional partnerships established by member countries of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and other governmental and non-governmental institutions. Subregional and national partnerships enable close links with stakeholders including land managers and the public. The ESP sees itself as an umbrella network for various European initiatives and actions, at the level of regions, countries, EU and its neighbours, and it advocates for their visibility and contributions in the global soil protection movement.

The European Soil Partnership is a voluntary partnership, open to governments, regional organizations, institutions and other stakeholders at various levels. It is mandatory that your organization becomes first member of the Global Soil Partnership. You will then be automatically a member of the ESP. Our contact list keeps members and interested parties updated on ESP activities.
