摘要

土壤是生產糧食的天然資源，我們所消耗的絕大多數食物都是直接或間接來自於土壤。土壤的品質決定了糧食的量（卡路里）和質（營養品質和食品安全）。因此，保護土壤的物理性、化學性和生物性的完整對於保護全球的糧食安全是很重要的。土壤科學，提供了土壤品質和其永續的管理相關的新知。然而，土壤科學家並非獨自來保護全球的糧食生產系統，而是和環境工程師、農學家、營養學家、動物學家、社會學家一起合作，發展針對土壤保育、物資循環及環境保護的綜合性方法。

Soil is a basic natural resource for food production, the vast majority of food we consume is either directly or indirectly derived from soil. Soil quality determines the quantity (calories) and quality (nutritional value and safety) of the foods grown. Protecting the soil's physical, chemical and biological integrity is therefore of vital importance in safeguarding global food security. Soil science, as a discipline, will contribute to new knowledge related to soil quality and its sustainable management. However, soil scientists are not alone in securing the global food production system, instead they shall work with environmental engineers, agronomists, nutritionists, animal scientists and social scientists in developing integrative approaches to soil conservation, material cycling and environmental protection.
