ABSTRACT
Soil health is a critical determinant of agricultural sustainability, food security, and environmental resilience. Over the past decade, escalating soil degradation driven by intensive agricultural practices, climate change, and urbanization has necessitated innovative approaches to soil management. This review examines emerging trends and innovations in sustainable soil health management, encompassing regenerative agriculture, soil microbiome engineering, biochar application, precision agriculture technologies, and policy-driven conservation frameworks. Regenerative practices such as conservation tillage, cover cropping, and diversified crop rotations have demonstrated significant improvements in soil organic carbon, microbial diversity, and water retention capacity. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT)-based soil sensors, remote sensing, and artificial intelligence-driven decision support systems has enabled real-time monitoring and site-specific management of soil parameters. Additionally, biological innovations including microbial inoculants, biofertilizers, and synthetic microbial consortia represent promising frontiers for enhancing nutrient cycling and disease suppression. This paper synthesizes current scientific evidence and technological advancements, identifies research gaps, and proposes an integrated framework for sustainable soil health management that bridges biotechnology, digital agriculture, and ecologically informed practices to address global food security and climate adaptation goals.
Keywords: Soil Health, Regenerative Agriculture, Soil Microbiome, Precision Agriculture, Biochar.
