The ‘Integrated solutions for accessing soil moisture’ project (4.2.004) aimed to quantify crop responses to different management practices on key soils across 4 cropping regions. Read case study.

The aim of the ‘New farming methods to sequester soil carbon’ project (4.1.006) was to trial, measure and demonstrate crop sequencing and new technologies that can sequester organic carbon, mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and improve soil fertility in crop production systems that have traditionally struggled to accumulate carbon. Read case study.
