Soils are one of our most valuable resources in Australia, supporting our food, fibre and water supplies.

Soil underpins our agricultural production, directly contributing approximately $63 billion AUD per year to Australia’s economy.

The 2023 Soil Science Australia Conference brings soil scientists, industry, researchers, practitioners and government together to further research, innovation and understanding of soils. It is Australia’s leading conference for presenting advances in soil science and attracts experts from across the country and overseas.

In the lead-up to the conference the 11^th SSA National Soil Judging Competition will attract emerging soil scientists from across Australia and overseas to test their soil science skills.
