Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soil and water, two fundamental factors of agricultural production, are under significant threat due to poor management practices and the climate crisis. Despite their importance, their role is often underestimated, leading to severe degradation. This fact is particularly critical for soil, which is a non-renewable resource, and for water, which can shift from a vital resource to a destructive force through extreme floods or droughts caused by climate change. Therefore, adopting policies and implementing measures to conserve soil and water is crucial for achieving food security, an urgent challenge posed by the rapid, ongoing growth of the global population. Thus, this Special Issue presents current perspectives on effective strategies to mitigate the risks of further degradation and ensure the sustainability of soil and water under the new conditions created by climate change.
