Drivers of global soil degradation are diverse and include, but are not limited to, population dynamics, consumption, inequality, education, and farming practices. The existence of innovative agricultural practices and systems that mitigate or prevent soil degradation suggests that technical obstacles are not the greatest barrier. Barriers to farmers adopting these sustainable practices include powerful vested interests and existing policies, a lack of information and knowledge, weak infrastructure and other economic challenges, and misperceptions and cultural biases. To halt or reverse soil degradation will require mobilizing the full arsenal of effective policies, scientific and socioeconomic advances, farmer ingenuity, and public engagement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Join<\/strong><br \/>\n<u>In-person<strong>\u00a0MCML\u00a0102<\/strong><\/u>\u00a0Please note that participation will be\u00a0<u>limited<\/u>\u00a0due to the capacity of the room.
