Devising a methodology for the digital soil map of the world

土壤制图是可持续环境管理中土地资源评价的重要组成部分。这些成果将使人们能够利用土壤数据和信息，清楚地了解该国土地、植被和水资源的现状和变化，以及对其可持续利用的影响。地区农业推广工作者和发展中国家的政策制定者将利用这一全球利益来帮助改善作物生产和可持续土地管理。

Soil mapping is a key part of land-resource assessment for sustainable environmental management. The output will enable the use of soil data and information to give a clear understanding of the status of, and changes in, the nation's land, vegetation and water resources and implications for their sustainable use. This global good will be used by district agricultural extension workers, and policy decision makers in developing countries to assist in improved crop production and sustainable land management.
