The '4 per mille Soils for Food Security and Climate' was launched at the COP21 with an aspiration to increase global soil organic matter stocks by 4 1000 (or 0.4 %) year as a compensation emissions of greenhouse gases anthropogenic sources. This paper surveyed carbon (SOC) stock estimates sequestration potentials from 20 regions in world (New Zealand, Chile, South Africa, Australia, Tanzania, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria, India, China Taiwan, Korea, Mainland, United States America, France,...
Soil security, an overarching concept of soil motivated by sustainable development, is concerned with the maintenance and improvement global resource to produce food, fibre fresh water, contribute energy climate sustainability, maintain biodiversity overall protection ecosystem. Security used here for in same sense that it widely food water. It argued has integral part play environmental sustainability challenges water stability, biodiversity, ecosystem service delivery. Indeed, existential...
Abstract Soil degradation is a critical and growing global problem. As the world population increases, pressure on soil also increases natural capital of faces continuing decline. International policy makers have recognized this range initiatives to address it emerged over recent years. However, gap remains between what science tells us about its role in underpinning ecological human sustainable development, existing instruments for development. Functioning necessary ecosystem service...
Not only do soils provide 98.7% of the calories consumed by humans, they also numerous other functions upon which planetary survivability closely depends. However, our continuously increasing focus on for biomass provision (food, fiber, and energy) through intensive agriculture is rapidly degrading diminishing their capacity to deliver vital functions. These tradeoffs in soil functionality – increased one function at expense critical are this review. We examine how land-use change has...
There is a nexus of seven inter-linked global existential challenges; Soil Security and Food are two these. The established concept well defined researched, whereas the emerging building its currency globally. Addressing provides means to improve food, fibre water quality in sustainable manner, through enhanced soil care development best land-management practices. fragile resource which degraded many parts world. rapidly growing population has placed further pressure on accommodate increased...
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the global food supply chain and exacerbated problem of nutritional insecurity. Here we outline soil strategies to strengthen local production systems, enhance their resilience, create a circular economy focused on restoration through carbon sequestration, on-farm cycling nutrients, minimizing environmental pollution, contamination food. Smart web-based geospatial decision support systems (S-DSSs) for land use planning management is useful tool sustainable...
Human societies face six existential challenges to their sustainable development. These have been previously addressed by a myriad of concepts such as soil conservation, quality, and health. Yet, these, only security attempts integrate the concurrently through five biophysical socio-economic dimensions capacity, condition, capital, connectivity codification. In this paper, we highlight past existing concepts, make proposal for provisional assessment security. The addresses three roles soil:...

In-depth understanding about the vertical distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) density is crucial for (C) accounting, C budgeting and designing appropriate sequestration strategies. We examined SOC under different land use/land cover (LULC) types, altitudinal zones aspect directions in a montane ecosystem Bhutan. Sampling sites were located using conditioned Latin hypercube sampling (cLHS) scheme. Soils sampled based on genetic horizons. An equal-area spline function was fitted to...
