Abstract

The health of our soil is fundamental to the delivery of essential ecosystem services; agricultural productivity, food security and environmental welfare ( e.g. ecological integrity and conservation, crop nutrition, carbon sequestration (balancing) and animal welfare etc.). Moreover, soils are an integral part of developing agricultural policies, e.g. UK Agricultural Bill, 2020; Environmental Land Management Scheme. This policy brief delivers the output of the UK ‘Capturing the Potential of Soil’ workshop (held on 23 March 2021) which focused on the link between soil health, primarily soil organic carbon, and productivity. Emphasis is placed on the research challenges to improve soil health, the implementation priorities that must be held and the potential co-benefits could be.
