Healthy Soils Australia is small self-funded NGO with a big reach. We represent a network of innovative farmers, scientists, environmentalists and advocates. For the past 14 years we have consolidated ecological and agribusiness research, distilled these into commercial regeneration solutions and undertaken outreach, training, mentoring and advocacy.

Our History

Healthy Soils Australia (HSA) was formed in 2005 by a group of scientists and soil advocates who were passionate about the benefits of healthy soils. One notable member was Walter Jehne a soil microbiologist who did research at the CSIRO Australia. There is a large amount information in Walter’s presentations on YouTube and they are very informative.

In the past HSA engaged with the Federal Government and the Department of Agriculture in the early days to bring about awareness of the benefits of healthy soils and the potential of agricultural practices that facilitated the sequestering of soil carbon. We have attended forums and conferences internationally, to create awareness of the vital need for healthy living soils and to create a “soil carbonsponge”
