News and Workshops| Soil Foodweb is an international soil biology group providing laboratory soil testing and soil biology consultancy services. It was founded by Dr Elaine Ingham, a leading international soil microbiologist. The systems developed by Dr Ingham have been designed to analyse the microbiology present in soil samples and to develop appropriate responses to achieve desired levels and balances of soil microbiology. |
Soil Foodweb International has created two workshops which have both been FarmReady approved. These workshops are conducted upon demand subject to receiving a booking from either a Government body, Land Care group, grower organisation or any other interested parties. These workshops are delivered in laymans terms so that all those attending can easily grasp the concepts and readily take steps to put them into practice. The 3 day workshop comprises both theory and ‘hands on’ learning through on farm demonstrations. Our pricing to conduct these workshops are outlined in the flyers that are available for download on this page. It is up to the organisation holding the workshops to set a reasonable admission fee to cover their costs. As the courses are FarmReady approved Government reimbursement is available of course costs to eligible Australian primary producers.
