Role of Agricultural Geology in Sustainable Soil and Crop Management

Abstract

Agricultural Geology examines how geological materials, processes, and landforms influence soil formation, fertility, and agricultural productivity. By studying parent rocks, minerals, weathering, groundwater, and landscape stability, it provides essential insights for sustainable farming. This field connects geology with agriculture to determine soil suitability, manage water resources, identify erosion-prone areas, and promote eco- friendly soil enrichment. Agricultural Geology supports long-term agricultural planning, soil conservation, and sustainable food production.
