Abstract

Soil fertility is highly important for countries where economy is dependent considerably on agriculture and animal husbandry. With the ambition of boosting economic growth many countries like India tap their vast mineral and human resources and expand industrial sector which also have considerable impact on soil fertility and agriculture. In order to have sustainable economy of a country, a harmony between industry and agriculture is highly essential. Though the cost involving protective and remedial measures appears to cut away the profit of industrial sector, these are extremely essential for shielding non-renewable soil resources which anchor the food producing agriculture sector. In order to formulate effective policies on protective and remedial measures, knowledge on the impact of different industries is required. This chapter reviews the research carried out worldwide to study the impact of major industries on soil quality and its consequences on quality of life including human. While some of the industries like thermal power plants, mining and associated ore beneficiation processes have direct impact on soil resources, other industries like textiles, paper & pulp, chemical & petrochemical, distillery etc. affect soil quality via polluted water used for irrigation.
