About 80 of world's arable soil is under serious impact of water and wind erosion which are, as such, the main soil degradation factors. Other soil degradation factors such as chemical, physical and biological factors are the issues of inadequate use of soil in agriculture, industry and urban areas. Similar situation is in Serbia (Yugoslavia), where it is estimated that about 90 of total area is under water and wind erosion processes. In order to stop further soil degradation and to restore the productivity of land already degraded, it is necessary to apply the soil and water conservation multilevel plannning which is essential part of the concept of sustainability. The first step in implementation of this multilevel conservation planning in Serbia (Yugoslavia) is to form the adequate soil and water conservation policy which should be incorporated in public laws of agriculture, forestry, water economy and other economy branches where soil and water conservation practices play important role as indispensable measures for environment protection.
