Soil CRC Welcome to the Soil CRC's new website, where you can explore our research projects, latest news and knowledge hub.

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.

Our programs

Our practical, real-world outputs will allow farmers to optimise their productivity, yield and profitability, and ensure the long-term sustainability of their farming businesses. Through its soil research and innovation program, the Soil CRC will develop new solutions that will unlock the potential of Australia’s agricultural sector.

It will address the billions of dollars in lost opportunity experienced by farmers and regional communities due to infertile and underperforming soils.

The Soil CRC will deliver

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.

The Soil CRC acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of Country throughout Australia and acknowledges their continuing connection to soil, land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the Elders past and present.
