Fertile soil has become one of the major limited natural resources for agriculture worldwide as a result of continuous degradation of usable land due to diverse natural and anthropogenic factors including agricultural practices. This has led to a wide range of environmental problems such as pollution of atmosphere and aquatic environments, and imposing health risks on all living organisms. Due to the  growing public concern in this regard, new policies have been introduced aiming for a sustainable land management while ensuring food security and environmental health. The advanced module on Soil and Environment has been designed to address this vital issue providing an in-depth knowledge on soil as a natural resource, within the context of space and time, and use of traditional and modern technologies to sustain the soil productivity. After successful completion of the courses in this advanced module, a student will have the ability to identify the root causes of soil related agronomic and environmental problems and suggest and/or develop appropriate technologies to overcome those problems.
