Abstract
Australia
| Description | The collaboration between Edith Cowan University and Quadram Institute colleagues has been strengthened through this travel award. The intention was to develop research questions for a joint grant proposal focused upon investigating how the soil microbiome is a surrogate measure for the regenerative capacity of the soil and exploring how this links with the health of the farmer, and this was achieved alongside identification of relevant colleagues and disciplines to be included in further discussions. |
| Exploitation Route | As the intention was to develop research questions for a joint grant proposal focused upon investigating how the soil microbiome is a surrogate measure for the regenerative capacity of the soil and exploring how this links with the health of the farmer, the outcome of this award mean that we are in a position to draft this proposal and to hold further discussion to see how we might address additional questions. |
