Editorial

Soil, like air and water, is essential to life on earth. Over 90% of all human food and livestock feed are produced from the land and from soils that vary in quality and extent. Of the earth’s 13,000 million hectares of ice free-land surface, only 3% is covered with highly productive soils, just 6% with moderately productive and 13% with slightly productive soils. The remaining 78% of the land has limitations that inhibit the sustainable cultivation of its soils sometimes even for grazing. However, it is in such marginal lands that most land and soil degrada¬tion occurs (Hurni et al., 1996). It is from this context that we launch this International Conference of the Land Conservation (LANDCON) with the hope of discovering new and better ways of counteracting the effects of land degrada¬tion and of building more secure and self-sustainable patterns of agricultural land husbandry. …
