Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Agriculture is currently experiencing a whole series of changes. The global population has reached eight billion, and the sustainability of this situation must be addressed. The pressure on agriculture to ensure food sufficiency continues to rise. Related to this are new trends and technologies that need to be designed and verified. These factors undoubtedly include soil and water conservation. Soil and water conservation is the primary key to solving these questions. This Special Issue aims to describe experiences with the development and application of new methods for ensuring soil fertility, especially concerning soil and water protection while producing enough food for the entire world. We expect contributions from all continents, and we hope that through the mutual exchange of experiences, we will advance our field further to the benefit of all.
