1 SUMMARY The growing interest in low input agricultural practices, coupled with challenges in the agro-ecosystems, which are accelerated by population pressure, poor soil management practices and climate change calls for a holistic approach to soil management and agricultural production as a whole. The holistic approach considers soil management as a way of enhancing agricultural production while not forgetting environmental quality, human and animal health. This leads to the concept of soil… CONTINUE READING
