[C4OC] Southern Soils - best practice for sustainable soils in the South Coast of WA

Southern Soils will develop sustainable land management practices through priority setting, benchmarking of soil quality and land condition to increase understanding of local soil conditions and promoting best management practices. The project will build on previous investment in the region to tailor delivery by supporting and brokering new and existing partnerships with community and production groups and organisations to develop skills and knowledge, building capacity and confidence to trial and adopt best practice to maintain healthy soils, increase productivity and reduce off-site impacts.
Southern Soils will facilitate demonstration field trials in targeted locations across the south coast region in key soil health areas of soil biology, soil acidity, soil erosion, water repellence and nutrient matching. Associated workshops, field days, forums and communication activities will engage farming communities in innovative practices to increase skills and knowledge and adopt new behaviours.
