Soil is a vital natural resource, and we know little about how it’s changing in Australia. The National Soil Monitoring Program will measure, monitor, and report on soil state and trends. The project will measure changes in soil condition over time at 3000 sites. Partner organisations will collect
approximately 30,000 samples across Australia. Soil samples will be tested for their chemical, physical, and biological properties. The project team will evaluate results and make the data publicly accessible. Data informs strategic decisions for policy, investment, reporting, and land use to deliver effective soil management. The National Soil Monitoring Program strengthens soil capability, supports climate smart, productive, sustainable
agriculture, and many other land uses. The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, and CSIRO are working in partnership to deliver the program. The National Soil Monitoring Program is supported by funding through the Australian Government Natural Heritage Trust (Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry) in collaboration with CSIRO.
