SOIL HEALTH FOR FOOD SECURITY The role of soil organisms in agriculture for better land management decisions This website provides general concept on the meaning and significance of soil biodiversity, and agriculture emphasizing the need for an integrated soil biological management. It has been prepared by FAO to make available information on soil biodiversity and its management to catalyse further exchange of information and case studies and to highlight research findings and expertise for agricultural development programmes, networks and ultimately farmers. It also provides a framework, under which soil biodiversity can be assessed, managed and conserved, showing examples of successful and unsuccessful practices which have been used in various regions of the world to manage soil biodiversity.
Feedback: We welcome your feedback and comments on this overview and the submission of case studies and, in particular, any contributions and further information on relevant work, activities and experiences on soil biodiversity and soil biological management for productive and sustainable agriculture as well as any proposals for partnership arrangements. Please contact: Sally Bunning (sally.bunning@fao.org), and Juan J. Jiménez (juan.jimenez@fao.org), Land and Water Development Division, FAO. The materials and documentation used for the development of this website are prepared continuously by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), together with partners.
