The 2022 National Soil Amelioration/ Controlled Traffic Farming

Virtual Conference – Conference Replay

About The Conference

The 2022 National Soil Amelioration/ Controlled Traffic Farming conference was held in Perth on 3 & 4 August 2022.

In previous years, our conferences have attracted delegates from around the country but until we’re back to pre-COVID travel patterns, we decided to offer a virtual conference experience for those outside WA who weren’t able to make the trip.

The theme of the 2022 conference was ‘Farming Systems Approach to Soil Amelioration and CTF’ and the conference was attended in person by growers, industry, students and academics.
