This programme is a farm level soil sampling and analysis initiative, which will provide farmers and their advisers with comprehensive details about the nutrient status, carbon status and indicators of soil health on their farms. The results can be used to target soil management and farming practices to achieve economic and environmental sustainability on their farms.
Information collected through the programme will also enable better monitoring of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) at a national and regional level. The programme has the potential to take 90,000 soil samples from farms all over the country. The Soil Sampling and Analysis Programme is open to farmers across the country.
