Popis: The concept of soil security has strategic value in that it can serve to focus and guide the development of policies addressing the six global existential challenges, such that interventions for one challenge result in favourable effects on other challenges. Soil security arises from both top-down (global challenge) and bottom-up (societal value) considerations. We envision it as a homologous concept to those of food and water security. The major goal is to measure and manage the five dimensions of capability, condition, capital, connectivity and codification.
