Soil Quality Knowledge Base

A new website to support farmers, researchers, advisors, and students in their understanding of soil science and management.

Explore, Understand, Manage

The Soil Quality Knowledge Base has been developed for farmers, agricultural industry professionals, policymakers, students and the community to provide free access to high quality, evidence-based information on current soil knowledge and soil management.

This website has been compiled utilising information from published scientific research, alongside the technical and specialist knowledge of decades of collective experience in understanding and managing soil.

Visit the website
"The Soil Quality Knowledge Base helps in bringing the evidence base together and providing engaging insights and summaries, and we hope that it will make it easier to navigate to the information or answers users are looking for, or explore more features of soil that are relevant to them and their situation"
