Helping Australian farmers measure greenhouse gas emissions, improve soil health and future-proof productivity while enabling companies to credibly support and report sustainability across their supply chains.

Based at Charles Sturt University's Wagga Wagga campus (NSW), the Cool Soil Initiative is a precompetitive not-for-profit organisation that recognises climate smart practices, identifies opportunities to lift yield and soil health, and provides trusted emissions intensity (EI) reporting.

Celebrating World Soil Day
