Soil information sharing and knowledge building for sustainable soil use and management: insights and implications for the 21st Century

Abstract

This Special Issue brings together a number of insights from Australia, USA and Europe about the generation, exchange and use of information and knowledge building for sustainable soil use and management, predominately in agriculture. The 19 papers offer a range of perspectives from people who span disciplinary and practice boundaries, including soil scientists working as extension agents (with direct contact with farmers), citizens and project coordinators, as well as social scientists, who seek to understand and explain farmer learning.
