The Science of Soil Security : Multidisciplinary Perspectives

The Science of Soil Security: Multidisciplinary Perspectives represents a novel and collective effort to provide readers with a multidisciplinary view of the five dimensions of the soil security framework (capacity, condition, capital, connectivity, and codification) that must be considered to address the inherent challenges of conservation and sustainable management of soils.

The chapters aim to collectively analyze issues and propose concrete solutions for transitioning towards a state of soil security for a global audience of soil researchers.

The conceptual framework of soil security is a valuable multidimensional tool for addressing soil issues at the local, regional, national, or global level.

Contributing to the science of soil security aids in visualizing the reference state (dimension: capability) and current state (dimension: condition), as well as in exploring advancements and proposing solutions to the challenges that the conservation and sustainable management of soil present for society, government, and research institutions (dimensions: capital, connectivity, and codification).
