Sustainable Soil Management: Bridging the Sustainable Development Goals addresses the issue of sustainable soil management and its connection to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This book presents a range of strategies, policies, and implementation approaches for sustainable soil management, drawing on examples from around the world. In addition to sustainable soil management practices, the book also covers the dynamics of soil health, the role of soil organic matter, and the integration of agroecology and biodiversity in enhancing food security and environmental sustainability. By examining the interconnectedness of soil with key SDGs-such as zero hunger, clean water, and climate action-this book provides a roadmap for addressing global challenges.

Kader, Shuraik
I am a person who is keen to learn, teach, educate and explore new things in a changing world. My main goal for the future is to conduct more productive research as I pursue a career in academia. Currently I am currently pursuing PhD in environmental engineering and soil science under full scholarship at Griffith University, Australia. I am passionate about the practical application of theoretical engineering concepts. I have research capabilities that include analytical, critical thinking, qualitative, and quantitative skills. I am an expert in environmental engineering, built environment, soil science, geotechnical engineering, sustainable agriculture, hydrology, climatic science, water quality and maintenance. I have completed several research projects through local and international partnerships and published peer-reviewed research articles in SCOPUS-indexed journals and at international scientific conferences. I am also a peer reviewer in established journals at Elsevier, Springer Nature, and Wiley Online Library. I am capable of working in both team-based and self-managed contexts with strong interpersonal and organizational abilities.
