Assessment of soil suitability requires accurate testing and GPS location of the soil profile.

Around 95% of organic farms in Australia are chemical free but do not remineralise their soils. Growing north American crops on ancient Gondwana soils has led to
poor quality food and declining yields.
This contrasts to Northern Hemisphere soils that are formed in the last ice age
and are generally more fertile.
