Soil Restoration and Management for Soil Sustainability Goals

In the 21st century the world population is increasing daily, which is directly creating pressure on the soil to grow food, fiber and renewable resources that fulfill the need for living standards according to the world demand. Mainly UNO and different organizations of the world encouraging and stimulating the soil restoration process on priority basis because of economical and health crisis of globe. To meet demand, due to this force growth, multiple types of pesticides and fertilizers are used to maintain quality and increase more hectare yield, which is heavily degraded in different regions of the world. Addition of heavy metals, chemical compounds, mismanagement of drainage, and standing of sewage water polluted the water tables and degraded the soil pan. In most countries, over-cutting of forest trees is enhancing desertification which causes salinity in soil and lack of nutrients retention. Overall, researchers have been illustrating that degraded soil has the capacity for restoration and retention if it will be effectively managed through proper cropping pattern and restored through dense plantation. Soil restoration and management play important roles in maintaining the fertility of the soil, and productivity of agricultural lands and the stability of the natural ecosystem. It illustrates the necessity of collaboration among farmers, policymakers, policy implementers, researchers, and extension wings to develop and spread innovative approaches in awareness campaigns in fostering land restoration and management practices among communities. Soil restoration potentials, with examples systems that deliver climate mitigation, food safety, habitat, natural ecosystem, hydrological cycle, and animal production, that restoration and management process help meet future food security and overcome the climate changing process.
