A quarter of the world’s agricultural land is considered degraded; in Australia, it's estimated to be closer to two-thirds.

The impacts of poor soil management will be felt by generations to come. But in good news, soil health is something we can influence, as farmers, graziers and land managers. Read on to find out more about how you can implement simple methods for creating healthy, productive soil.
