Design
CSIRO was engaged by DAFF to design and prepare the National Soil Monitoring Program over a 12-month period to October 2024.
This included consultation on the sampling and measurement requirements for the program, establishing standards and operational requirements and preparing for the on-ground and testing activities including identifying potential service providers and sub-contract requirements.
The key output of the design phase was a National Soil Monitoring Plan ready for implementation in late 2024.
This project has been supported by funding through the Australian Government Natural Heritage Trust (Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry) under the National Soil Monitoring Program in collaboration with CSIRO
