Policy guidance note: Sustainable soil management

Opportunities and recommendations for decision makers

Soils are a vital resource for agriculture and life on the planet. They are home to the diversity that gives rise to the heterogeneous productive landscapes that make Latin America and the Caribbean a strategic ally in global food production. They are also a productive resource that provides multiple functions, goods and services. Therefore, their sustainable management is a valuable tool to address global challenges such as population growth, degradation of productive resources and climate change. This policy brief, aimed at policymakers, presents a set of lines of action that can serve as a reference guide to contribute to the transition to sustainable soil management at different scales, from local to regional.
