Abstract
Uganda is blessed with fertile soils that are suitable for several land use types, including agriculture, forestry and livestock management. However, the tenure, management regimes, population growth and the dominant substance agriculture have made it vulnerable to severe soil degradation. Uganda’s soil protection law is contained in various pieces of legislation, directives, rules and regulations governing the operation of institutions established for purposes of land administration, the management of land rights and land-use planning. Even though elements relating to soil protection are also evident in many pieces of environmental legislation, the consequential and effective implementation and enforcement of all the above laws is yet to be achieved. This is in addition to the lack of comprehensive policy to promote sustainable farming practices that ensure soil conservation and productivity.
