Farm scale soil information is key component for Soil health management
Abstract
Sustainable agriculture and environmental management depend on soil health. It includes all of the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics that make soil an essential living environment. This intricate interaction of soil characteristics promotes plant development, controls water, filters pollutants, and cycles nutrients—all of which are critical for sustaining resilient and profitable agricultural systems. Sustainable agricultural practices depend on healthy soil because it promotes ecosystem services and farm productivity. Crop productivity and environmental sustainability both benefit greatly from sustainable agricultural practices such as crop rotation, cover crops, and conservation tillage. By increasing soil biodiversity, nutrient cycling, and organic matter, these techniques can strengthen agroecosystem resilience. Maintaining crop yields, improving crop resistance to climate change, and long-term soil multifunctionality all depend on healthy soil (Kabato et al., 2025).
