SoilsWest

Soil researchers with a focus on bringing together academia, government, and industry to deliver more integrated approaches to soil science and grower outcomes. Creators of the Soil Quality Knowledge Base website and Soil Quality ebook series.

Established in 2016 and centred from 2021 at Murdoch University, this partnership founded initially between the University of Western Australia (UWA) and the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), has continued to grow and deliver opportunities to its member base of highly skilled, independent soil science professionals with complementary scientific and research capabilities, industry networks, and infrastructure and technology – now with members at DPIRD, Murdoch, UWA, Curtin University, Edith Cowan University, and CSIRO. SoilsWest invites wider input and partnerships from other local, state and federal government institutions, industry and grower groups, agribusiness, as well as specific interest groups.
