Soil organic matter (SOM) can be a helpful indicator of soil health in terms of the impact of land use changes. Kar et al., 2023 examined the soil health after land use conversion in India's North-West Himalayan region by using the stratification ratio (SR) of soil organic carbon and total nitrogen (TN) as indicators. The results indicate that land use change to conventional tillage (CT) significantly reduces SR and SOM, while conservation agriculture (CA) help restore the SR levels closer to those of forest land use. The authors suggest that CA is a suitable alternative to CT for improving soil quality and maintaining sustainable soil management practices.

The article highlights the critical and complex interactions between climate/environmental changes and nutrition, emphasizing that addressing these issues requires an integrated, ecological approach. US government initiatives and research efforts are actively working to understand and mitigate these impacts, with the ADVANTAGE initiative playing a pivotal role in exploring these intersections. The article calls for a comprehensive understanding of "nutrition ecology" to effectively promote health and prevent disease, ultimately aiming to meet global nutrition targets.
