Agroforestry-Based Soil Restoration and Management focuses specifically on securing and improving soil health through agroforestry practices, with a goal of improving overall soil sustainability. Through expert insights and case studies, the book promotes soil management, soil restoration, soil carbon sequestration, soil conservation, and soil ecosystem services management, along with relevant sustainable approaches for soil resources conservation. It provides insights into novel approaches for soil resource management, with specific attention given to the latest technologies advancing this science.

Sections propose possible polices and plans for future research and implementation, cover the latest updates in the area of agroforestry research for soil sustainability, developments in soil conservation, and carbon sequestration potential, address the knowledge gap in relation to agroforestry, sustainability, and soil ecosystem management, and explore the application of technological interventions for soil restoration and management under agroforestry.
