Soils Security Programme Coordinator

土壤安全方案协调员的作用是领导、管理和协调土壤安全方案内的活动。该计划与全球食品安全计划（http://www.foodsecurity.ac.uk/）相一致，该计划是英国食品相关研究和培训的主要公共资助者共同努力，在全球气候变化和资源减少的背景下，利用更少的土地，以更低的投入，为世界不断增长的人口提供可持续，安全，有营养和负担得起的高质量食品供应的挑战。土壤安全方案侧重于土壤提供的生态系统服务，即；粮食安全、减缓气候变化以及水和养分循环。协调员将通过确保该项目与政府和研究委员会（如可持续农业研究与创新俱乐部（SARIC）、可持续农业生态系统土壤和根际相互作用（SARISA）和农业技术中心等）正在进行或正在开发的广泛项目联系起来，在这500万英镑的投资中最大限度地发挥研究的影响。通过与环境、食品和农村事务部以及威尔士和苏格兰地方政府的决策者密切合作，研究结果将为支持当前和正在制定的政策提供证据，例如《欧洲土壤框架指令》。农业从业人员也将被纳入该方案，以便在不对环境产生负面影响的情况下实现生产的改善。在该计划结束时，将建立一个有凝聚力的土壤社区，可以在2030年实现可持续土壤的愿望。

The role of the Soil Security Programme Coordinator is to lead, manage and coordinate activities within the Soil Security Programme. This programme is aligned to the Global Food Security programme (http://www.foodsecurity.ac.uk/) which is where the UK's main public funders of food-related research and training are working together to meet the challenge of providing the world's growing population with a sustainable, secure supply of safe, nutritious, and affordable high-quality food using less land, with lower inputs, and in the context of global climate change and declining resources. The Soil Security programme focuses on the ecosystem services provided by soil namely; food security, climate mitigation and water and nutrient cycling.The Coordinator will maximise the impact of the research within this £5 million pound investment by ensuring that the programme links with the wide range of programmes that are ongoing or developing across government and the research councils e.g. Sustainable Agriculture Research and Innovation Club (SARIC), Soil and Rhizosphere Interactions for Sustainable Agri-ecosystems (SARISA) and the Agri-Tech Centres. By close collaboration with the policy makers at Department of Environment Food and Rural Affairs and the devolved administrations in Wales and Scotland the findings of the research will provide evidence to support current and developing policy such as the European Soils Framework Directive. Agricultural practitioners will also be co-opted into the programme so that improvements in production without negative impacts on the environment can be realised. At the conclusion of the programme a cohesive soils community will have been developed that can deliver the aspiration of sustainable soils by 2030.
