It looks at how to mitigate soil health hazards such as waterlogging, acidity, soil salinity, and soil compaction. It also discusses soil health constraints in different ecoregions and suggests potential solutions for enhancing environmental and socio-economic issues regarding soil in the sub-continent. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePast and current soil conservation programs in India are reviewed in detail to better understand how production and policy-related issues affect soil and water conservation. Incentives needed to address the most critical problems are also discussed. Encouraging results associated with watershed-scale soil and water conservation programs together with effective interventions to reduce land degradation and improve productivity are covered. Finally, pervasive physical, chemical, and biological soil health constraints present in different ecoregions are also discussed in detail. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSoil Health and Sustainability in India\u003c\/i\u003e explores \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeforestation and removal of natural vegetation through overgrazing and land use change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepletion of organic matter in soil, by excessive tillage, heavy machinery used for harvesting, and lack of adequate soil conservation measures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalt pollution from the textile, glass, rubber, animal hide processing, metal processing, and pharmaceutical industries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil erosion by water, wind, and cyclonic storms, and different types of soil, including brown and red hill soils, alluvium-derived soils, lateritic soils, and podzolic soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSoil Health and Sustainability in India\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely resource on soil health in India.
