The Nitrogen Banking Project is a part of RiskWi$e, a National Risk Management Initiative. It is a 5-year initiative by GRDC and CSIRO that will run from 2023 to 2028. It seeks to understand and improve the risk-reward outcomes for Australian Grain Growers by supporting grower on-farm decision-making. This project will study various nitrogen (N) management strategies.

The Facey Group is investigating the role of soil amelioration in improving cropping system performance on sandy soils. As part of the GRDC RiskWi$e initiative, this project focuses on how changes in soil structure influence legume nodulation and nitrogen availability across a lupin–wheat–canola rotation. Through field trials, the work aims to better understand the link between soil management practices and nitrogen use in broadacre systems.
