More democratic soil processes
How can decisions about soil, land restoration, biodiversity, and stewardship become more democratic, especially when different communities, livelihoods, rights, and ecological priorities are in tension?
Positioning statements
Soil should be treated as a commons, not only as private property.
Environmental restoration should not happen without the meaningful participation and consent of the communities who live from the land.
Scientific expertise is essential for soil governance, but it should not override local knowledge, customary practices, or lived experience.
Green transitions can reproduce dispossession if land becomes valuable for conservation, carbon offsetting, biodiversity, energy, or investment without strong community rights.
