Soil and ecosystem health

The MBIE-funded project 'Soil health and resilience: oneone ora, tangata ora' aims to support the development of a longer-term and more comprehensive view of soil health and resilience; and to develop an integrated soil health framework that can be used by a wide range of end-users. It is important that this framework is flexible, to enable it to adapt to both technological and societal changes impacting on the primary sector.

Funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employemnt's Endeavour Fund
