最大限度地提高资源使用效率、生产力和环境可持续性是将全球粮食产量提高70%的基本要求，以便到2050年养活约97亿世界人口。在我们能力范围内实现这一目标的最重要资源也许是我们的土壤。从广义上讲，根本问题是满足这种生产需求是否会加速土壤退化、气候变化和土壤碳储量的损失。本文件以英国慈善机构“Food & Farming Futures”（由基尔哈勒的咖喱勋爵主持）于二零二一年三月二十三日举行的题为“捕捉土壤潜力”的虚拟工作坊的成果为基础。该活动的重点是土壤健康，主要是土壤有机碳（SOC）和农业生产力之间的联系。由Pete Smith教授评论支持（阿伯丁大学和苏格兰气候变化专家中心科学主任）和史蒂夫·麦格拉思教授（洛桑研究所可持续农业科学负责人），将特别关注英国改善土壤健康和功能能力范围内的研究挑战，为了在2050年前改善土壤管理，必须优先实施哪些项目，以及潜在的共同利益是什么。这些共同利益分散在环境、经济、社会和政治问题上，但它们可以概括为六个主要的共同利益：开发自然资本、减缓气候变化、碳交易、提高作物产量、动物性能和人类健康（营养）。此外，改善土壤管理实践的主要障碍集中在农业环境技术的知识交流上，而最有效的解决方案依赖于土壤监测、报告和核实。
Maximising resource‐use efficiency, productivity and environmental sustainability are all fundamental requirements to raise global food production by ~70 per cent in order to feed a world population of ~9.7 billion people by 2050. Perhaps the most vital resource within our capacity to achieve this goal is our soil. Broadly, the fundamental question concerns whether or not satisfying this production demand will accelerate soil degradation, climate change, and the loss of soil carbon stocks. This paper builds upon the outputs of the UK Charity ‘Food & Farming Futures’ (chaired by Lord Curry of Kirkharle) virtual workshop held on 23 March 2021, entitled ‘Capturing the Potential of Soil’. The event focussed on the link between soil health, primarily soil organic carbon (SOC), and agricultural productivity. Supported with commentaries by Professor Pete Smith (University of Aberdeen and Science Director of the Scottish Climate Change Centre of Expertise) and Professor Steve McGrath (Head of Sustainable Agricultural Sciences at Rothamsted Research), specific focus will be given to the research challenges within the UK’s ability to improve soil health and functionality, the implementation priorities that must be held in order to improve soil management by 2050 and what the potential co‐benefits could be. These co‐benefits were scattered across environmental, economic, social and political issues, yet they may be summarised into six primary co‐benefits: developing natural capital, climate change mitigation, carbon trading, improvements in crop yield, animal performance and human health (nutrition). Additionally, the main barriers to improved soil management practices are centred on knowledge exchange‐regarding agri‐environmental techniques—whilst the most impactful solutions rely on soil monitoring, reporting and verification.
