Sustainable soil management practices are essential for maintaining soil health, ensuring agricultural productivity, and protecting the environment. As the global population continues to grow, the demand for food production increases, placing significant pressure on soil resources. This abstract outlines key sustainable soil management practices, their benefits, and their role in promoting ecological balance and food security. Sustainable soil management practices offer numerous benefits, including improved soil fertility and structure, enhanced water infiltration and retention, reduced erosion, and increased biodiversity. These practices contribute to long-term agricultural productivity, resilience to climate change, and environmental protection. By fostering a healthy soil ecosystem, sustainable soil management supports food security and the livelihoods of farming communities.
