Abstract: Soil is a key component of the agriculture–livestock–forestry nexus. However, it has been reported that 40% of the agricultural soil is being degraded globally; in India, 70% of the agricultural soil is undergoing degradation despite various efforts to improve soil health. Hence, the current study takes a paradigmatic shift by applying the approach of systems thinking for understanding soil health.
