SoilCustody names sustained responsibility for the living ground beneath visible territorial forms. Custody differs from ownership: possession alone does not guarantee fertility, permeability, biodiversity or future usability. The operator treats soil as an active medium whose continuity depends on recurrent care, limits on extraction and obligations extending beyond a single project or generation. It asks who is authorised to alter the ground, who must repair accumulated damage and how responsibility can persist when legal ownership changes.
