Healthy Soils Australia (HSA) is a national initiative to promote the health, productivity and sustainability of Australia's agricultural soils by assisting landholders to access and implement innovative soil management and remediation solutions. This is achieved by pooling national skills and science to address soil health problems faced by individual farmers, companies and community groups.

The persistence and expansion of major environmental issues such as acid soils, dryland salinity, clearing of native vegetation and water quality evidences the need for a new and coordinated approach to addressing land management. Current programs lack the coordination between rural and urban communities and between science, industry and government needed to effectively address the issues. By linking science, industry and urban and rural dwellers the HSA initiative provides the vision and integration essential for the improvement of production and environmental outcomes.

The HSA activities will address the sustainability of rural communities and environments but urban communities are also involved. Urban communities are the main market for the agricultural products and they are also a source of organic wastes needed to improve soils. Industry is similarly a major source of materials for remediating of soils, as well as a user of natural resources from the land. HSA has established an Innovation Fund to support R&D, commercialisation and delivery of new technologies and techniques for soil and land management.

HSA is an action oriented program established primarily by industry to deliver outcomes beneficial for the whole community. Membership of HSA is open to all individuals and companies that seek to contribute to business and environmental outcomes of land use according to sound ecological, business and social principles. HSA is seeking associates and business partners to join this initiative.
