Session Description: The doubling of annual major grain production proposed to be necessary to avoid major food security collapses by 2050 is one of the major global challenges of the 21^st century. In order to solve this challenge there is a great need to better monitor and manage crop growth and crop water, nutrients, and related soil biophysiochemical processes for maximize crop production without compromising environmental health. This session focusses on how we can combine techniques from soil science, engineering, and geophysical sciences, and systems modeling for real-time monitoring of soil chemical processes affecting more efficient and sustainable crop production.
