Andisols are volcanic ash soils found in Indonesia that have a high capacity to hold water and nutrients due to their chemical and physical properties. These properties make Andisols well suited for agriculture and they support the cultivation of important crops like rice, vegetables, fruits and coffee. However, land conversion and inappropriate management practices are threatening the sustainability of Andisols in Indonesia.
