Soil security has become the central dogma of the sustainable soil management. Among the global initiatives on the soil management, the soil security is a leading one to integrate the roles of soil functions with the aspects of soil health, ecosystem services and human health. Through the series of GSS conferences, being held in the Texas A&M University, USA (2015), Paris, France (2016) and University of Sydney, Australia (2018), the concept and dimensions of the global soil security initiative are well delineated. From now on, we need to connect the concept of soil security to policies of soil management. Policy implementation is the core engine for spreading the soil security into global community.
