During a debate in the Report Stage of the Environment Bill, Lord Goldsmith confirmed that the plan will be a crucial part of our plan to halt the decline of species by 2030, as well as meeting our long-term legally binding targets on biodiversity.

Well managed soils can lead to increased biodiversity, improved water quality and reduced carbon emissions. The Soil Health Action Plan (SHAPE) will provide a framework of actions to improve and protect the health of our soils. A further announcement regarding the details will be made shortly and we plan to consult on the draft outline in Spring 2022.
