The FAO Soil Classification system, established by the Food and Agriculture Organization, provides a globally applicable framework for classifying soils based on major diagnostic horizons and soil properties. It is less detailed than USDA Soil Taxonomy and focuses on key soil characteristics relevant to global land use and environmental applications. The system aims to facilitate international communication and support sustainable land management practices. Source: FAO (1990). Guidelines for Soil Profile Description.
