The Cooperative Research Centre for High Performance Soils (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. Through our soil research and innovation program, we are developing new solutions that are unlocking the potential of Australia’s agriculture sector. Our practical, real-world outputs allow farmers to optimise their productivity, yield and profitability, and ensure the long-term sustainability of their farming businesses.
The Soil CRC is the largest collaborative soil research effort in Australia’s history, bringing together 8 universities, 4 state government agencies, 7 industry partners and 20 farmer groups. Our multi-disciplinary research efforts are helping Australian agriculture to reach its target for farm gate output of $100 billion per year by 2030.
