Packaging Soil CRC tools to enhance the extension and adoption of improved soil management practices

This project will support four grower groups (including AIR EP) to critically evaluate their current extension practices used to engage farmers and to identify which extension tools developed in Program 1 of the Soil CRC can be combined to improve the adoption of innovation. Many significant learnings and outcomes have been developed in Program 1 of the Soil CRC that currently sit as disparate outputs, but which are essential in aiding grower groups (and other next users) in extending and communicating information to the farmer (end user). Participating grower groups will design and test four proof-of-concept extension packages that improve project delivery, with the outcome being a series of extension packages that collectively give next users in the Soil CRC (grower groups, advisors, extension officers) a stronger range of tools to better engage the farming community and improve the adoption of the outcomes from all Soil CRC Programs.
