What drives farm management decisions?
To gain a thorough understanding of the factors driving landholder decision-making within and across regions, we need to research the drivers of farmer decision-making.


Visualising Australasia’s soils: an interoperable spatial knowledge system
This project addresses the rapid increase in soil data supply, big data and its transformation into knowledge.


Smelling soil health with an eNose
Farmers want to know more about their soil to make evidence-based decisions on land management. Electronic nose (eNose) technology may be a useful way to monitor changes in...


Managing soils during and after drought in grazing systems
The impact of drought on soils can be mitigated through careful management of soils during, following and in between droughts by developing more resilient soils.


Managing soils during and after drought in cropping systems
The impact of drought on soils can be mitigated through careful management of soils during, following and in between droughts by developing more resilient soils.


Soil data sharing
For this project, our primary goal was to design and implement a shared soils data base that fulfilled the requirements of researchers, farmer groups, catchment managers an...


Does gender matter in farming?
Including women’s voices in research has highlighted key differences in the ways that women view and relate to their farms and their wider physical and social environmen...


A framework for assessing adoptability to improve soil performance
This study provides opportunity for soil scientists to work with farmers to enable an approach to develop innovations with increased probability of adoption.


Principles of Collaboration in Soil Research
By working with those within the farming system, practices are embedded to enable change to the system and practices.


Building Farmer Led Innovation
How can innovation systems, capability and culture in farmer groups address barriers to adoption of soil management practices?


Activating markets to create incentives for improved soil management
Property markets, consumer markets and finance and insurance markets were identified as the three main markets that need to be activated to reward soil stewardship.


Mapping projects on ameliorating soil constraints, and review of soil constraints, products and technologies
This research looks at the review and identification of soil constraints as determined by the scientific literature, soil researchers, advisers and industry stakeholders.
