Soil science has changed considerably in the past decades –  more is on its way. Ignoring these changes would be imprudent. This book contains the views from 55 soil scientists in 28 countries on the future of soil science – from Finland to South Africa, from Canada to Ghana, Malaysia and China. The book is a palette of opinions and views reflecting great diversity but also several commonalities. It provides details on subjects that should be studied, on the interaction between soil science and agriculture, politics and the other sciences. This book is compulsory reading for anyone interested in soil science and its future directions.
