Isi artikel

Soil is a basic natural resource for food production, the vast majority of food we consume is either directly or in-directly derived from soil. Soil quality determines the quantity (calories) and quality (nutritional value and safety) of the foods grown. Protecting the soil’s physical, chemical and biological integrity is therefore of vital impor-tance in safeguarding global food security. Soil science, as a discipline, will contribute to new knowledge related to soil quality and its sustainable management. However, soil scientists are not alone in securing the global food production system, instead they shall work with environmental engineers, agronomists, nutritionists, animal sci-entists and social scientists in developing integrative approaches to soil conservation, material cycling and envi-ronmental protection.
