A key thing is that being able to actually measure what's happening in our soils.... Biological systems are all connected. If there's an attack on soils, or a disruption to them, it affects the entire country and the ability for those lands to produce.
It's critically a defence capability. For one thing, it's food defence, but it's also resilience against disruptions. If we can monitor that in real time, it contributes to our ability. In the same way that measuring what's happening in our air is critical, so is measuring what's happening in our soil.
