Ghana’s soils are described as low productive soils whose productivity continues to decline rapidly as a result of the adopted unsustainable crops production systems. In addition, prime agricultural lands are also being permanently lost as a result of urbanization to other land use sectors thereby affecting sustainable crops production. However, there is currently no existing policy framework that seeks to guide the holistic exploitation of Ghana’s soil resources for the current and future needs. This paper therefore discusses the relevance, ideas and concept for attaining a soil management policy to drive Ghana’s agricultural development and food security programs.
