    The proceedings book of the Global Symposium on Soil Pollution (GSOP18) contains all papers presented both orally and in poster format during the symposium. The papers presented have provided sufficient scientific evidence to show that soil pollution is a global threat to the health of our soils, human health and the environment. Many studies are related to the sources of pollution in agricultural land and the effect of soil pollution on the production of healthy food and the economic and social consequences of soil pollution on food security. Different alternatives for monitoring and remedying soil pollution were presented. In addition, several papers presented legal approaches to preventing, controlling and remedying soil pollution in different regions of the world

    Sudan, with an area of 178 million square miles and 32 million people, is an agriculture-­‐based economy. Agriculture underpins food security and rural development in the country: it contributes 30% to the GDP, employs 48% of the labour force, supplies the bulk of basic food for consumers, contributes over 80% of non-­‐petroleum export revenues and provides subsistence and other incomes to the bulk of the population. The strong forward and backward linkages within the rural sector and with other sectors of the economy provide added stimulus for growth and income generation. Thus, significant progress in promoting economic growth, reducing poverty and enhancing food security in Sudan cannot be achieved without developing more fully the potential human and productive capacity of the agricultural sector.

    This document provides a conceptual framework and standard methodologies for the monitoring, reporting and verification of changes in SOC stocks and GHG emissions/removals from agricultural projects that adopt sustainable soil management practices (SSM) at farm level. It is intended to be applied in different agricultural lands, including annual and perennial crops (food, fibre, forage and bioenergy crops), paddy rice, grazing lands with livestock including pastures, grasslands, rangelands, shrublands, silvopasture and agroforestry. Although developed for projects carried out at farm level, potential users include investors, research institutions, government agencies, consultants, agricultural companies, NGOs, individual farmers or farmer associations, supply chain and other users who are interested in measuring and estimating SOC stocks and changes and GHG emissions in response to management practices. The document is an outcome of the successful Global Symposium on Soil Organic Carbon (GSOC17), which was held in Rome in March 2017. The document is of technical nature in support of the Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration work. Its use is not mandatory but of voluntary nature.
