Soil Resource Management — Key to Food and Health Security

摘要

I would like to thank the Palampur Chapter of the Indian Society of Soil Science for having given me the honour and privilege to deliver the 19th Dr. S.P. Raychaudhuri Memorial Lecture, instituted in the fond memory of Late Dr. S.P. Raychaudhuri, a doyen among Soil Scientists and whose contributions to Soil Science are legendary. Since Dr. Raychaudhuri had devoted his whole life on characterization and management of soil resources in India, I have selected to speak on a topic which was so close to the heart of Dr. Raychaudhuri.
