Soil health is integral to sustainable agriculture, with organic soil amendments playing a pivotal role in enhancing fertility, structure, and microbial activity while mitigating environmental impacts. Organic farming, as defined by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), sustains soil, ecosystems, and people through ecological processes, biodiversity, and local adaptation, and is rooted in natural energy and nutrient cycles, and relying on practices like crop rotations, residues, compost, and green manure.
This Scientific Session explores cutting-edge research, innovative strategies, and practical applications in optimizing soil health through the use of organic amendments and encourages contributions from experiences in organic farming, covering soil changes, productivity, plant protection, healthy food, and socio-economic aspects. Studies focusing on diverse organic materials and their application, energy efficiency, carbon sequestration, carbon and water footprint, greenhouse gases, and soil nutrient balancing as indicators of sustainable practices are welcomed. Research from different continents provides insights into the global sustainability of organic agriculture, offering a robust scientific basis for developing governmental agricultural policies and decision tools for stakeholders. Future prospects in developing technologies and research areas with the potential to further advance our understanding of soil health optimization through organic soil amendments.
