Soils and Food Security

Book Overview

Soil is essential for growing crops, but its quality and health are often poorly understood. With 40% of the world's agricultural land already degraded, this volume examines what makes "good" quality soil and how better land use can maintain or improve soil quality. The developing issue of food security is also tackled in this book, which is suitable for agronomists, soil scientists, environmental consultants, policy advisors and students.
