The science of Soil Security and Food Security

Liana E. Pozza, Damien J. Field · 29 Nov 2020

There is a nexus of seven inter-linked global existential challenges; Soil Security and Food Security are two of these. The established concept of Food Security is well defined and researched, whereas the emerging concept of Soil Security is building its currency globally. Addressing Soil Security provides the means to improve food, fibre and water quality…

A minimum suite of soil health indicators for North American agriculture

Dianna K. Bagnall, Elizabeth L. Rieke, Cristine L.S. Morgan et al. · 9 Jan 2023

The concept of soil health is appropriately receiving increased attention from governments, producers, corporations, and other stakeholders because of the many functions of soil that support ecosystem services and farm profitability. With this interest, there is growing need to verify and monitor changes in soil health that result from how agricultural soil is managed. There…

Mid-infrared spectroscopy for accurate measurement of an extensive set of soil properties for assessing soil functions

Wartini Ng, Budiman Minasny, Sang Ho Jeon et al. · 15 Jan 2022

Quantitative assessment of soil functions requires the characterization of soil capability and condition. Mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy has been suggested as a viable alternative to the wet chemistry method. However, the extensive set of soil properties that can be well predicted have yet to be explored. The USDA MIR spectral library contains approximately 45,000 samples with…

Soil health and its relationship with food security and human health to meet the sustainable development goals in India

Bhabani S. Das, S P Wani, Dinesh K. Benbi et al. · 3 Jul 2022

Healthy soil is critical to human health and for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). Although India attained self-sufficiency in food production, realising zero hunger, good health, and no poverty remains a challenge. In this paper, we summarize key features of Indian soils and capture existing and developing trends in soil research in India to assess…

Cropping system and soil texture shape soil health outcomes and scoring functions

Joseph P. Amsili, Harold M. van Es, Robert R. Schindelbeck · 24 Jul 2021

Inherent soil properties often define the soil's basic functions, but human management can have superimposing impacts on the quality of soil. It is therefore challenging to interpret Soil Health (SH) measurements in the context of a region's soils and cropping systems. We examined the effects of soil texture, a dominant inherent soil property, and cropping…

Soil Security template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Soil Security format?
