Symposium for the Use of Organic Soil Amendments
16 – 18 September 2025 | Coolangatta, QLD
Australian farmers use over five million tonnes of organic soil amendments annually. Materials such as animal manures, composts, biochar, millmud or biosolids are often land applied at generic rates with no or little reference to neither product characteristics nor properties and requirements of the receiving soil and cultivated crops. This lack of product knowledge and understanding of potential agronomic and economic benefits, often means that using organic soil amendments can have disappointing and costly results. The Symposium for the Use of Organic Soil Amendments provides an opportunity to learn; i.e. where you can hear cutting-edge R&D that’s shaping the way in which organic soil amendments are seen and used in the future!
The Symposium for the Use of Organic Soil Amendments, the first of its kind in Australia, is a must-attend event for farmers, agronomists, researchers and suppliers of organic amendments seeking to unlock the agronomic, environmental and commercial value of using organic soil amendments in modern sustainable farming systems. The Symposium represents a unique opportunity for you to broaden your knowledge, exchange ideas and experiences with national and international experts, and to build your capacity to make a meaningful impact on the advancement of sustainable agricultural and horticultural practices through the intelligent and innovative use of organic soil amendments.
Over the course of three days, the Symposium will bring together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers with diverse expertise who are working to enhance the agronomic, economic and environmental benefits from the use of organic soil amendments. Overarching keynote addresses and talks presenting the latest research and analyses will provide a fertile ground for dynamic discussions and collaboration, bridging the gaps between science, industry, and government policies, and empowering stakeholders to cooperate and progress sustainable management strategies for organic residues, soils and agricultural enterprises.
