It all starts with the soil
The Soil CRC was established in 2017 to give farmers the knowledge and tools they need to make decisions on extremely complex soil management issues.
Bridging the gap between soil science and farm management
We ensure that soil performance is increased not just in the short term, but in the long term.
CRCs are led by passionate and motivated industry partners, and draw in the brightest researchers from across Australia to address issues of national significance.
Delivering practical, real-world outputs
Our research outputs will allow farmers to optimise their productivity, yield and profitability, and ensure the long-term sustainability of their farming businesses.
Through our soil research and innovation program, we are developing new solutions that will unlock the potential of Australia’s agricultural sector.
Our research efforts are helping Australian agriculture to reach its target for farm gate output of $100 billion per year by 2030.
The Soil CRC will deliver
- New mechanisms for financially rewarding management of high performance soils
- New integrated soil management solutions that provide greater precision for farmers
- New ways to measure the performance of soils
- New advanced and innovative products to increase soil fertility and function
The Soil CRC is part of the Australian Government’s Cooperative Research Centres Program. The CRC Program supports industry-led collaborations between industry, researchers and the community. Australia’s network of CRCs operates across all sectors of Australia’s economy and society.
