| Abstract | The world population is incessantly increasing, and humans are bound to depend on limited land resources. In order to survive, it’s imperative to derive maximum from limited available resources while minimizing the human impacts to the least. Soil security is one of the promising means to ensure food, fiber, bioenergy, and water quality that can be achieved by precluding it from major threats, i.e., urbanization, organic matter loss, and soil degradation. Soil is an essential resource being degraded rapidly by swiftly changing global trends in human lifestyles, enhanced competition for limited resources, large-scale migration trends, climate change, and high demand for energy. Rapid globalization fetches increased pressure on agricultural soils. High demand for food, fiber, and bioenergy deprives soils of their nutrition and organic matter. Greater utilization of fertilizer and pesticides is concomitant with high cost and problems like water pollution yielding insufficient food to fulfill the global demands of the incessant population. This chapter demonstrates the importance of soil security and its role in the mitigation of global food, water, and energy crisis. Besides, it outlines major threats to soils along with global shifting trends as a big hurdle in a way of attaining sustainable development goals. We will conclude by discussing potential land management strategies to secure and restore soils in order to get maximum benefits in a sustainable manner. |
