greatest natural asset\nSoil security—considering all aspects of soil management—is a priority issue which should be on the national agenda as Australia grapples with protracted drought, climate change and new development encroaching on former agricultural land.\n“Australia’s greatest natural asset is its soil with an estimated value of $3,860 billion,” said Soil Science Australia President, Associate Professor John McLean Bennett CPSS. “This comes as a surprise to many people as it’s easy to take for granted what lies beneath your feet.\n Source: `pages/media-releases-index.html

major soil-related issues in each State as part of\nWorld Soil Day\non 5 December 2018.\n“As you can imagine, Australian soils are incredibly diverse, and factors influencing soil health—including landscape, geology, climate and human activities —all play a role to a greater or lesser extent as our State Soils Snapshot shows” said Soil Science Australia President, Associate Professor Luke Mosley.\n Source: `pages/media-releases-index.html (https://www.soilscienceaustralia.org.au/about/publications/media-releases/)`\n- Greater recognition of soils (nature, distribution & status) as a fundamental ecosystem service\nprovider and strategic national asset\n(c) Reference to advice and recommendations\n• Act as a Standing Committee for the Australian Soil Network (ASN), the implementation committee\nfor the National Soil RD&E Strategy\n• Provide national leadership, coordination and direction in soil and terrain issues and information\nfor sustainable use and management of the soil and land resource\n• Provide expert advice on policy proposals and a strategic appreciation of emerging issues and\npriorities on soil and terrain matters\n• Advise on the implications and
