The Global Initiative of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment (GISAE) is an Australian nonprofit organization.[2][3]

Objectives and activities

[edit]

GISAE aims to innovate farming practices that increase agricultural productivity and food quality while ensuring environmental sustainability. Their work focuses on harnessing natural microbial resources to boost farm productivity and ecosystem health. This includes developing and implementing system approaches that utilize crop and soil microbiomes to improve plant growth and resilience.[4]

Training and outreach

[edit]

GISAE collaborates with partners to offer training programs in agricultural sustainability, soil health, and biodiversity. They have initiated a training program in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization, targeting agricultural practitioners in Africa to enhance soil health and measure soil biodiversity.[5]

The Global Initiative of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment is running a grapevine microbiome study to assess the soil biodiversity of grapevines across the world. This will help map the state and condition of vineyards, assess the elements (such as excessive ploughing, fertilizers and pesticides) which have been damaging the delicate balance of the soil health, and therefore lead to learnings about how to improve it.
