Sustainable soil management (SSM) can be promoted by an enabling environment fostered by the following actions:

1. Establishing or strengthening inclusive SSM-supportive agricultural/ environmental policies
   • Where appropriate, inclusive policies to promote SSM should be linked to agricultural and environmental policies, so that their implementation provides multiple benefits.
   • If existing, these policies can be reviewed, as appropriate, to mainstream SSM.
2. Increasing responsible investment and positive incentives aimed at promoting sustainable soil management
   • Where appropriate, responsible investment in SSM according to the Principles for Responsible Investments in Agriculture and Food Systems (CFS-RAI) should be increased.
   • Provision of positive incentives to those stakeholders who implement SSM principles while recognizing the value of ecosystem services could be envisaged.
