Western Australia will host the 2026 Soil Science Australia National Conference on Whadjuk Noongar Boodja in Boorloo (Perth), with the theme Common Ground: Soils for the Anthropocene.
Occurring every two years, the conference will be held from 1-5 November at Pan Pacific Perth, following the National Soil Judging Competition from 29-31 October.
The conference is expected to convene over 450 attendees and will serve as a platform for a diversity of voices across science, policy, industry and community to explore a mutual understanding of soils as the foundation of productivity, security, community and resilience.
During the event the Soil Wealth ICP team will present a poster on Closing the Research – Adoption Gap: Participatory demonstration sites driving soil practice change in vegetable systems.
