A Suggested National Soils Policy for Jamaica

The soils policy suggested in this document is meant to be illustrative rather than exhaustive in character, and by no means a substitute for local experience, foresight or prudence.

It sets out specific issues related to soil productivity and conservation which can then be inocrporated in the different aspects of planning and development.
