International Multi-Disciplinary Online Conference on Sustainable Soil Resources 2021 (SSR – 2021)

The advancement of science and technology along with the emerging changes in socio-cultural and economic and environmental priorities induce researchers to focus on ‘soil’ with multidisciplinary perspectives.  There has been an increasing need of researchers from different domains such as social science, science of soil, soil biodiversity, soil engineering, and environment to bring their research perspectives to a common multidisciplinary platform and discourse on their mutuality to deliver the best. This conference attempts to facilitate the above mentioned platform by duly inviting different stakeholders such as researchers, practitioners, and experts on policy & execution. The topics to be covered include the following but not limited :

[The proceedings of the conference and select papers will be published by a publisher of international repute]

The objective of the conference is to bring the different stakeholders of soil to a common platform to share and discourse on the conference themes with the following questions (but not limited to):
