Across all themes, we work closely with farmers, industry partners, government agencies and international collaborators. We design training, workshops and forums such as the Australia–China Environmental Biogeochemistry Forum (ACEBF) to share methods, data and concepts, and to co-create solutions that are scientifically sound and practically useful. A key part of our scope is building capacity – training the next generation of scientists and practitioners who will care for soils, waters and landscapes in Australia, China and beyond.
