Cool Soil Initiative
Explore a real-world view of how the Cool Soil Initiative is being implemented.
On World Soil Day the 5th December we focus and celebrate the importance of healthy soil and to advocate for the sustainable management of soil resources.
Explore our Cool Soils webinar series, featuring a diverse range of practical, grower‑focused topics designed to support soil health, improve decision‑making and strengthen on‑farm sustainability.
The first webinar in the series helped growers and advisors better interpret soil test results with more confidence and make more informed management decisions. Led by Cass Schefe, it covered soil sampling, test interpretation, acidification, buffering capacity and lime management, along with aluminium impacts in low pH soils, nutrient extraction methods, crop removal and key production thresholds.
The second webinar in our three-part series shares practical insights from both the soil and supply chain sides of Cool Soils. Dr Cass covers nitrogen management in a risky climate, outlining key strategies to improve efficiency and productivity, including legume nitrogen contributions, deep soil testing, fertiliser timing and placement, managing key soil constraints and using inhibitors where nitrogen loss risk is high.
