There is no definition of soil in the French law and soils are not globally considered as an environmental issue. The use of soil is regulated by various frameworks, with no dedicated authority. Therefore, the French legal system is not up to the stake of preserving soils from all sorts of threats. In 2021, a law called “Climate and resilience” was adopted and directly responded to the European dynamic of building up a soil health policy. This law distinguished France in its ambition to effectively reduced its land take and to recognise the functionality of soils. After 4 years, the text is under threat and illustrates the gap between environmental issues and the current political context. This article discusses its content and the dynamic it has inspired.

摘要

There is no definition of soil in the French law and soils are not globally considered as an environmental issue. The use of soil is regulated by various frameworks, with no dedicated authority. Therefore, the French legal system is not up to the stake of preserving soils from all sorts of threats. In 2021, a law called “Climate and resilience” was adopted and directly responded to the European dynamic of building up a soil health policy. This law distinguished France in its ambition to effectively reduced its land take and to recognise the functionality of soils. After 4 years, the text is under threat and illustrates the gap between environmental issues and the current political context. This article discusses its content and the dynamic it has inspired.
