The Science of Soil Security: Multidisciplinary Perspectives

The Science of Soil Security: Multidisciplinary Perspectives offers a multidisciplinary examination of the five dimensions of the soil security framework--capacity, condition, capital, connectivity, and codification--highlighting their collective importance in addressing soil conservation and sustainable management challenges. Through integrated analyses and case-based insights, the chapters explore key soil-related issues and propose actionable pathways for transitioning toward soil security. Soil security is presented as a robust, multidimensional framework applicable across local, regional, national, and global scales. By advancing the science of soil security, the book supports the identification of both the reference state of soils and their current condition, and examines the social, institutional, and governance mechanisms required to overcome persistent challenges in soil conservation and sustainable management. In doing so, it offers valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners engaged in safeguarding soils for society.
