The Federal Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry is seeking comment on Australia’s first national action plan on soil.
All stakeholders across the broad range of sectors supporting healthy soils are invited to provide feedback to help shape the final action plan.
First Assistant Secretary of Portfolio Strategy and Climate Policy at the Federal Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry, Nick Blong
said “As the first action plan under the 20-year National Soil Strategy, it is important that there is a focus on setting good foundations for future
actions to halt and reverse soil degradation and improve soil health.”
“The draft action plan outlines six priority actions for improving Australia’s soil health and long-term soil security.
“It will guide national action to provide a solid foundation to restore and protect Australian soil over the long term”, he said.
The draft action plan is now available for feedback by 7 November 2022.
