IUSS Global Soil Security Symposium
The Global Soil Security Symposium will convene experts and innovative thinkers from a range of disciplines including agricultural and resource economics, (rural) sociology, information technology, soil science, and agronomy to further develop the concept of soil security, and to work toward assessment and implantation strategies. This three-day discussion will address the five dimensions of soil security :
- Capability--the intrinsic capacity of a soil to produce products and ecosystem services;
- Condition--the current state of the soil as modified by human activities;
- Capital--economics of soil services to Health, Environment and Food production;
- Connectivity--the social connection of soil managers and custodians and users of soil products and services to the soil (and to each other); and
- Codification - Policy frameworks to secure soil.
