Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soil properties and their interactions with crops remain a key issue for global agriculture. Only by continuously improving our understanding of these issues can we move agriculture towards safe food production for 8 billion people while reducing energy inputs. The aim of this Special Issue is to gather new information from around the world and contribute to the development of global agriculture and food security. Submissions should contain new data and findings, especially in the areas of soil protection from damage, appropriate crop rotation principles, and related topics. New and unexpected connections are also welcome, as are other beneficial effects on soil, which remains one of the most valuable resources on earth.
