Agricultural Land Classification (ALC)

World Soil Day 2024 | Caring for Soils: Measure, Monitor, Manage

World Soil Day is held annually on the 5th of December as a means to focus attention on the importance of healthy soil and to advocate for the sustainable management of soil resources. This year’s theme is ‘Caring for Soils: Measure, Monitor, Manage’ which underscores the importance of accurate soil data and information in understanding soil characteristics and supporting informed decision making on sustainable soil management for food security.

Protecting soil health and effectively managing the agricultural land that soils support is central to global food security. In the UK, one of the most valuable tools we have for understanding and protecting both soils and food security are the Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) system, which covers England, Wales and Northern Ireland and the Land Classification for Agriculture (LCA) system in Scotland. These classification systems provide a standardised approach to identifying the soils and land that contribute the most to putting food on the table.
