I commend you to this concise, carefully framed and very useful document! It clearly presents an outstanding piece of thought that can well foster pathways towards sustainable soil management in the future.
Regarding your first question “Does the zero draft sufficiently outline a way to achieve sustainable soil management worldwide?”, I have noted that the second part of section 4 is largely focussed on conservation agriculture. Broadening this perspective to other important agronomic and structural conservation practices may help to provide a more differentiated outlook on sustainable soil management. In line with this comment I included a few suggestions about potentials for broadening the scope of the guidelines. Pleased find my track changes (starting from p. 17) and a supporting publication attached to this email.
Dear FSN-Team,
I commend you to this concise, carefully framed and very useful document! It clearly presents an outstanding piece of thought that can well foster pathways towards sustainable soil management in the future.

I hope these suggestions may be helpful.
