Potential role of healthy soil for global environment

The “green revolution” and subsequent good advancements, such as the usage of synthetic fertilizers and plant safety products, could not be avoided as the current scenario in which almost 1 billion people are hungry, primarily due toa shortage of food. Around 4 billion individuals are at risk of malnutrition because of additional nutrient deficiencies. Changing land use patterns on both a local and global scale poses a danger to food security and reduces the ability of soils to feed people in the future. Sedimentation from agriculture, human activities as urbanization, and industrialization is a significant concern to food security by turning down soil health; however, other types of soil degradation, including loss of organic matter, pollution, eradication of soil biome, compaction, and salinization of soils, as well as nutrient mining and desertification, also put the sustainable soil’s food production at risk. In addition to emerging soil losses and degradation, due to climate change, extreme weather events directly threaten food security and safety. Agriculture relying on rainwater and irrigation is under threat in many parts of the world because of a lack of fresh air water. As food and fiber consumption expands globally as well as in local communities, the production of biofuels is placing further pressure on available land, water, and energy resources.
