Dr Yash Dang is a Senior Research Fellow at The University of Queensland with extensive experience in soil and nutrient management in agricultural systems. He has significant research expertise in the area of crop production in no-till farming systems, as well as in strategic tillage, soil constraint management and sustainable land management practices. Yash has been a passionate advocate for constructive engagement with farmers to develop collaborative, participatory research. He is looking forward to farming systems evolving to meet the global demand for food in an environment increasingly impacted by the challenges of climate change and land degradation.  Professor Ram Dalal is a Professor at the University of Queensland. He has contributed significantly to creating awareness in the farming, scientific and general community to the seriousness and insidious nature of soil degradation and the importance of no-till farming systems to help increase agricultural sustainability. He has helped develop and implement restorative practices for sustainable land management both nationally and internationally. It is now nationally recognized by policy makers and politicians that land degradation and sustainable land management are the national and international priorities.  Professor Neal Menzies is the Dean of Agriculture at the University of Queensland. He has a passion for agriculture and the environment, and has used his role as a research leader and a teacher to inspire the next generation of researchers and practitioners to enter into this highly rewarding field. He believes that environmental scientists must go further than identifying the negative impact of human activity on the environment and must also deliver workable solutions to the problems. While his research spans a range of agricultural and environmental chemistry issues, he considers himself primarily a soil scientist, and sees soil science as a central discipline in the development of sustainable intensification for agricultural production
