Long
 
a
 
rather
 
abstract
 
concept,
 
sustainable
 
development
 
has
 
since
 
2015
 
been
 
de󿬁ned
 
by
 
the
 
United
 
Nations
 
in
 
terms
 
of 
 
goals
 
(SDGs),
 
speci󿬁ed
 
by
 
targets
 
and
 
indicators.Soils
 
play
 
an
 
important
 
role
 
in
 
several
 
land-related
 
SDGs
 
by
 
their
 
contribution
 
to
 
ecosystem
 
services
 
that,
 
in
 
turn,
 
contribute
 
to
 
biomass
 
production
 
(SDG2),
 
water
 
quality
 
(SDG6),
 
climate
 
mitigation
 
(SDFG13)
 
and
 
biodiversity
 
preservation
 
(SDG15).
 
These
 
goals
 
have
 
been
 
adopted
 
by
 
the
 
European
 
Union
 
when
 
de󿬁ning
 
their
 
Green
 
Deal.
 
However,
 
sustainable
 
development
 
will
 
only
 
be
 
achieved
 
when
 
stakeholders
 
adopt
 
appropriate
 
management
 
measures
 
that
 
result
 
in
 
a
 
satisfactory
 
level
 
of 
 
all
 
four
 
ecosys-
 
tem
 
services.
 
Adoption,
 
however,
 
is
 
not
 
only
 
a
 
function
 
of 
 
technical
 
considerations
 
but
 
is
 
also
 
highly
 
affected
 
by
 
socioeconomic
 
and
 
even
 
psychological
 
factors.
 
The
 
soil
 
security
 
concept
 
that
 
considers
 
both:
 
“hard
 
”and
 
“soft
 
criteria,
 
is
 
therefore
 
well
 
suited
 
to
 
act
 
as
 
a
 
roadmap
 
towards
 
a
 
sustainable
 
future,
 
focusing
 
soil
 
contributions
 
to
 
ecosystem
 
services
 
and
 
the
 
SDGs.
 
A
 
storyline
 
is
 
proposed
 
starting
 
with
 
connectivity,
 
de󿬁ning
 
interaction
 
pro-
 
cesses
 
among
 
all
 
partners
 
involved
 
in
 
the
 
sustainability
 
debate,
 
followed
 
by
 
condition,
 
and
 
capability 
 
that
 
can
 
be
 
de󿬁ned
 
by
 
a
 
recently
 
proposed
 
quantitative
 
expression
 
of 
 
soil
 
health.
 
 Soil
 
Capitol
 
expresses
 
soil
 
contributions
 
to
 
ecosystem
 
services
 
in
 
󿬁nancial
 
terms
 
and
 
thus
 
contributes
 
to
 
connectivity 
 
when
 
examples
 
show
 
that
 
non-soil
 
con-
 
tributions
 
are
 
much
 
more
 
expensive.
 
Environmental
 
laws
 
and
 
regulations,
 
expressed
 
by
 
codi󿬁cation,
 
ideally
 
link
 
soil
 
performance
 
to
 
societal
 
relevance
 
but
 
the
 
tension
 
between
 
individual
 
desires
 
and
 
societal
 
demands
 
requires
 
modern
 
forms
 
of 
 
connectivity 
 
in
 
terms
 
of 
 
willingness
 
to:
 
“joint-learning
 
”,
 
supported
 
by
 
modern
 
communication
 
theory.
 
Following
 
the
 
complete
 
storyline
 
of 
 
the
 
5C’s,
 
as
 
proposed
 
by
 
the
 
soil
 
security
 
concept,
 
can
 
make
 
future
 
soil
 
research
 
much
 
more
 
effective
 
from
 
a
 
societal
 
and
 
political
 
point
 
of 
 
view.
 
1.
 
Introduction
 
Soils
 
receive
 
increasing
 
attention
 
by
 
the
 
international
 
policy
 
arena.
 
For
 
example,
 
the
 
new
 
research
 
and
 
innovation
 
program:
 
“Horizon
 
Eu-
 
rope
 
2021–2027
 
 
of 
 
the
 
European
 
Union
 
with
 
a
 
proposed
 
budget
 
of 
 
80
 
billion
 
 €
,
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
󿬁ve
 
so-called
 
Missions,
 
among
 
them:
 
”Soil
 
Health
 
and
 
Food
 
 (
).
 
These
 
Missions
 
have
 
a
 
particular
 
fo-
 
cus
 
on:
 
maximizing 
 
the
 
impact 
 
of 
 
 EU 
 
 support 
 
to
 
research
 
and
 
innovation,
 
demonstrating 
 
its
 
relevance
 
 for 
 
 society 
 
and
 
citizens
 
”.
 
This
 
new
 
focus
 
on
 
Missions
 
re󿬂ects
 
a
 
certain
 
frustration
 
with
 
more
 
traditional
 
research
 
that
 
has,
 
according
 
to
 
EU
 
politicians,
 
too
 
often
 
remained
 
invisible
 
and
 
there-
 
fore
 
irrelevant
 
to
 
EU
 
citizens.
 
Clearly,
 
the
 
research
 
community
 
is
 
being
 
challenged
 
to
 
rise
 
to
 
the
 
occasion.
 
How
 
to
 
proceed
 
is
 
no
 
less
 
than
 
an
 
existential
 
question,
 
also
 
for
 
the
 
soil
 
science
 
discipline.
 
Of 
 
course,
 
the
 
fact
 
that
 
soils
 
form
 
one
 
of 
 
the
 
topics
 
of 
 
the
 
Missions
 
implies
 
a
 
welcome
 
correction
 
of 
 
the
 
fact
 
that
 
in
 
the
 
past
 
only
 
water,
 
air
 
and
 
nature
 
received
 
particular
 
attention
 
in
 
environmental
 
research
 
while
 
soils
 
were
 
largely
 
ignored.
 
This
 
change
 
does,
 
however,
 
present
 
a
 
major
 
challenge
 
to
 
the
 
soil
 
science
 
profession.
 
This
 
review
 
will
 
argue
 
that
 
the
 
5
 
C’s
 
of 
 
the
 
soil
 
security
 
concept
 
are
 
an
 
important
 
beacon
 
for
 
 E-mail
 
address:
the
 
soil
 
science
 
profession
 
to
 
face
 
the
 
challenge
 
ahead
 
for
 
a
 
number
 
of 
 
reasons:
 
(i)
 
quantitative
 
and
 
reproducible
 
expressions
 
for
 
the
 
󿬁rst
 
3
 
C’s:
 
soil
 
capability,
 
condition
 
and
 
capital
 
are
 
crucial
 
as
 
contributions
 
to
 
both
 
effective
 
interdisciplinary
 
research
 
and
 
to
 
communication
 
with
 
the
 
policy
 
arena
 
and
 
citizens
 
at
 
large;
 
(ii)
 
the
 
last
 
2
 
C’s:
 
connectivity
 
and
 
codi󿬁cation
 
are
 
essential
 
elements
 
to
 
be
 
always
 
added
 
to
 
the
 
󿬁rst
 
three
 
as
 
they
 
will
 
determine
 
whether
 
or
 
not
 
research
 
will
 
have
 
relevance
 
for
 
society
 
and
 
citizens.
 
So
 
far,
 
major
 
emphasis
 
in
 
soil
 
research
 
(and
 
in
 
many
 
other
 
environmental
 
disciplines)
 
has
 
been
 
on
 
technical
 
aspects
 
as
 
embodied
 
for
 
soils
 
in
 
the
 
󿬁rst
 
3C’s.
 
But
 
always
 
considering
 
the
 
complete
 
5
 
C’s
 
as
 
a
 
general
 
research
 
framework,
 
would,
 
in
 
the
 
opinion
 
of 
 
the
 
author,
 
be
 
essential
 
for
 
future
 
soil
 
research.
 
This
 
does,
 
of 
 
course,
 
not
 
exclude
 
the
 
possibility
 
to
 
focus
 
basic
 
research
 
on
 
certain
 
aspects
 
of 
 
one
 
of 
 
the
 
5C’s,
 
where
 
existing
 
knowledge
 
is
 
lacking,
 
but
 
the
 
way
 
in
 
which
 
such
 
research
 
󿬁ts
 
into
 
the
 
overall
 
picture
 
should
 
always
 
be
 
considered
 
and
 
explained.
 
The
 
objective
 
of 
 
this
 
paper
 
is
 
to
 
explore
 
implications
 
for
 
future
 
soil
 
research
 
when
 
executed
 
in
 
a
 
general
 
context
 
of 
 
soil
 
security,
 
by
 
dis-
 
cussing:
 
(i)
 
the
 
overall
 
research
 
goal;
 
(ii)
 
the
 
link
 
with
 
SDGs.
 
(iii)
 
the
 
role
 
of 
 
the
 
5C’s
 
of 
 
soil
 
security,
 
and
 
(iv)
 
a
 
discussion
 
on
 
what
 
could
