Projected continuous rising of the world population has created a great pressure on arable land and other natural resources. Securing food for expected 9.5 billion people by 2050 while maintaining the integrity of the fragile ecosystem is a huge challenge for the coming years. The situation is more confrontational to/in developing countries like Namibia and most of African continent in general, where there is global recognition of hunger and the cycle of poverty being the most significant development challenges that the world faces today. Agriculture has been identified as the most effective driver of growth in the world‟s poorest countries, whereby increasing agricultural productivity is essential for reducing rural poverty, enhancing food security and stimulating of the broad-based economic growth. With no significant extension of agricultural land area foreseen, agriculture advancing does not only depend on improving the technical, economic, legal and trade conditions under which farmers and agribusinesses must operate but crucially on understanding and knowledge of the existing soil resources, both on supply and quantity. The necessary crop yields increasing activities must however appreciate the environmental problems (Intensive farming, land degradation, overpopulation, deforestation, etc.) and their vital global impacts. The phenomena has also increased a need to share and exchange soil data and information within countries, across regions and globally. Timely access to consistent, authoritative and understandable data and information is critical to issues such as policy making, food production and adaptation to climate change, water management, energy production and soil conservation. Soil data and information is managed by numerous organizations using a variety of processes, scales and standards and classification systems. A number of national and international activities and projects are currently dealing with the issues associated with collation and harmonization of disparate data sets.
