Soil security is the maintenance of our soils to sustain life on Earth. Soil is essential for food production, water filtration, carbon storage, and biodiversity. Yet, it faces growing threats from erosion, contamination, deforestation, and climate change. By prioritizing soil security, we can maintain its vital functions and ensure a thriving planet for future generations.

Addressing soil security requires expertise from diverse field, not only soil science, and a unified global effort. A dedicated think tank creates a collaborative space where scientists, policymakers, economists, and educators can address soil-related challenges and develop innovative solutions. By keeping soil security at the forefront of the global agenda, the think tank fosters actionable strategies that protect this vital resource and ensure a resilient future for all.

Here comes Aroura

Despite its critical role, soil remains largely neglected in global policy agendas.

In response to this urgent issue, Aroura – the Soil and Soil Security Think Tank was established to raise soil security to the forefront of global priorities.
The Think Tank unites a wide range of experts from fields such as politics, law, economics, and soil science, working together to address the global need for sustainable soil management.

The Soil Security Think Tank is made up of leading experts in soil science, policy, economics, and environmental law, whose collective knowledge drives the mission to secure soil as a vital global resource. Supporting their work is the dedicated secretariat, managing logistics, communications, and operations to ensure the success of the think tank’s initiatives and events. Together, they form the backbone of the effort to protect and promote soil security worldwide.
