Soil Health and Sustainable Agriculture in Brazil

A far-reaching survey showcasing the improvements made to soil health in Brazil

The maintenance of healthy soil resources provides the foundations for an array of global efforts and initiatives that affect humanity. Researchers, consultants, and farmers must be able to correctly examine and understand the complex nature of this essential, fragile resource. Soil Health and Sustainable Agriculture in Brazil provides a highly readable overview of the major cropping systems and management practices adopted in Brazil to improve soil health and sustain agricultural/forest production systems.

Key Features

  • Evolution of soil health concepts applied to modern agricultural systems in Brazil.
  • Overview of the major cropping systems and management practices adopted in Brazil to improve soil health (SH) and sustainability of agricultural production.
  • Challenges to manage soil health in new agricultural frontiers.
  • Presentation of SoilBio Technology: inclusion of soil enzymes as part of routine soil analyses (SoilBio Technology) and calculation of Soil Quality Indexes (SQI)
  • Public policies and initiatives to promote SH and carbon sequestration in Brazil.

Soil Health and Sustainable Agriculture in Brazil is ideal for soil scientists, agronomists, and any other researchers in both academia and industry interested in building a sustainable future.

《巴西的土壤健康與可持續農業》

一項廣泛調查展示了巴西土壤健康的改善情況。

保持土壤資源的健康為影響人類的一系列全球努力和倡議提供了基礎。研究人員、顧問和農民必須能夠正確地檢查和理解這一重要而脆弱的資源的複雜性。《巴西的土壤健康與可持續農業》提供了對巴西採用的主要耕作系統和管理實踐進行改善土壤健康和維持農業/林業生產系統的高度可讀的概述。

主要特點包括:
- 巴西現代農業系統中應用土壤健康概念的演變。
- 概述巴西採用的主要耕作系統和管理實踐,以改善土壤健康和農業生產的可持續性。
- 在新的農業前沿中管理土壤健康所面臨的挑戰。
- 介紹土壤生物技術:將土壤酶納入常規土壤分析(土壤生物技術)並計算土壤質量指數(SQI)。
- 巴西促進土壤健康和碳封存的公共政策和倡議。

《巴西的土壤健康與可持續農業》非常適合土壤科學家、農學家以及對建立可持續未來感興趣的學術界和工業界的其他研究人員。

作者簡介

Ieda Carvalho Mendes, Researcher, EMBRAPA Cerrados, Planaltina - Distrito Federal, Brazil.

Ieda holds a degree in Agronomy from the University of Brasília and a Ph.D. in Soil Science from Oregon State University. She is a microbiologist and researcher at Embrapa, working at Embrapa Cerrados. In 1998 Ieda began working with bioindicators of soil health in the Brazilian Cerrados Oxisols. This work led to the development of soil bioanalysis (SoilBio). Since 2019, she is involved in capacitation courses for 80 commercial laboratories of soil analyses in bench scale individual assays to measure activities of beta-glucosidase and arylsulfatase. Ieda has given more than 70 virtual talks about SoilBio technology.
