520			_aThe industrialization |of| agriculture and the concurrent increase in societal concerns on environmental protection and food quality have put the focus on agricultural management and its impact on soil quality Soil quality involves the ability of the soil to maintain an appropriate productivity while simultaneously reducing the effect on the environment an contributing to human health. This development has changed society is expectations of science and there is an urgent need to improve the communication among researchers from different scientific disciplines the interaction of scientists with decision makers is topic of utmost relevance for future developments in agriculture. Reflexive objectivity denotes the exercise of raising one's consciousness of the cognitive context in societal priorities and thew values and goals of the researcher .The term sustainability comprehends the priorities in the cognitive context and thus constitutes valuable tool for expressing the basis of scientific work. Soil quality evaluations should include awareness of the stability of any given quality attribute to disturbance and stress. This implies addressing resistance and resilience of the soil functions and/or the physical form in question. Most existing literature on soil quality focuses on assessment of soil quality rather than the management tools available to influence soil quality. Identification of management thresholds rather than soil quality indicator thresholds is suggested as an important means of implementing the soil quality concept. The major challenges facing modern agriculture include proper nutrient cycling maintained functions and diversity of soil protection of and appropriate physical form and avoidance of| chemical contamination. It is suggested that these challenges and problems as related to the soil quality concept are discussed in the framework expounded above.
