The Victoria Branch of Soil Science Australia hosted an in-person and online event to explore how better soil data, deeper understanding of soil water and clearer insights into regenerative agriculture can support more informed decisions on farms and across the agricultural sector. Dr Christine Storer (Charles Sturt University), A/Prof Peter Dahlhaus (Federation University Australia) and research hydrologist Sam North shared practical project insights from the Soil CRC. Watch the recording.

This webinar highlighted the Soil CRC’s latest research on unlocking the potential of underperforming, constrained soils. Soil CRC researchers Dr Lukas Van Zwieten and Dr Shihab Uddin (NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development) discussed how integrated, practical solutions can help overcome these challenges. Drawing on recent multi-site field trials (NSW and Qld), they shared evidence-based strategies that improve soil function, enhance water use, and deliver measurable yield gains – particularly in tough seasons.
