Abstract
Soil health is an essential foundation for providing the food requirements of a growing population. Technologies for improving soil health are available, but many are only practiced to a limited extent. Partnerships involving governments, the private sector, and research and development initiatives promise to accelerate the packaging of the available data and information; and develop and deliver tailored recommendations that support sustainable soil health management.
