Guidance on UEBT Standard Principle 2: Soil and Water Conditions

 
 

Principle 2 of the UEBT Standard promotes sustainable use of biodiversity. One important aspect of this is the conservation and improvement of soil and water conditions in cultivation and wild collection areas. Criterion 2.3 in the standard focuses on these practices.

This factsheet gives guidance on how to maintain or improve the soil and water conditions in the cultivation and wild collection areas, including concrete tips and examples for companies and their suppliers for compliance with UEBT requirements on soil and water.

It is part of a series of technical guidance documents, meant to support the implementation of key issues of the UEBT standard. It was developed with the support of the BioTrade facilitation programme, UNCTAD.  UEBT and UNCTAD acknowledge the financial contribution of the Swiss State Secretariat of Economic Affairs (SECO).
