This volume comprises three parts: 1) from local to global, 2) what
type of sustainable management? 3) territorial approaches. The
first chapter demonstrates, from the French example, that better
soil management is a societal issue. At the global level, the
second chapter raises the question of land grabbing and land use
conflicts. This book also raises the question of the legal status
of the soil. It then shows how soils need to be integrated when
defining sustainable agricultural systems. French and European
examples illustrate how taking environmental problems into account
depends as much on their acuity as on how problems are perceived by
public and private, social or economic actors. Therefore, it is
important to promote co-diagnosis involving the scientific
community and the various other actors in order to improve the
regulation on soils. This multi-actor soil governance is
facilitated by the use of simple soil quality indicators. Finally,
examples in France and Vietnam show how soils are to be considered
as territorial commons within landscapes. This last chapter
recommends in particular to put an end to the absolute right of
soil ownership and to distribute the usufruct of land between
various private and public beneficiaries.
