Developing carbon sequestration rules of thumb for farmers and advisors (SAR2025)

This project will investigate the effect spatial factors and sampling methodology have on soil carbon measurements. The results will be used to develop a “Rules of Thumb” for South Australian farmers and advisors who are considering entering into the carbon market. These rules of thumb will help to decide on the best soil carbon sampling strategy suited to individual farming systems and situations. This project is a co-investment with SARDI providing $20,000 of the total funding.

Student Compendium – supporting the next generation, 2026-2028 (AIA1925)

This project aims to support interns to develop and produce the next three versions of the Student Compendium (2026, 2027 and 2028); connect students to primary industries, and industry to students while assisting the next generation to find opportunities to broaden career horizons; and create an innovative, unique resource as a “call everyone to action” on all the SA Blueprints, particularly the SA Grains Industry Blueprint.
