Some actions that can be taken to improve soil health include:

• Making soil health a primary focus in environmental improvement policies and programs
• Adopt regenerative farming practices including ‘no-till’ farming
• Minimise mono-cropping, synthetic fertilisers and over grazing farming practices
• Increase carbon levels in soils – which can also assist with carbon sequestration
• Plant more trees to control erosion!
