The award is named in honour of DR Phill Moody

Phil Moody is a name held in the highest regard by governments, industry, scientific peers, and the community when it comes to soil and nutrient management in agricultural, natural resource and environmental systems.

Phil’s passion for soil science spanned over 45 years, with his contributions to public value science recognised both locally and internationally through more than 110 published articles and papers. 

Phil was an active member of ASPAC from the beginning presenting at the inaugural National Workshop on Soil and Plant Analysis (Ballarat, March 1993) and was elected to serve for two years (2005-2006) as Queensland Representative and Executive Member.  Many of you would have come across Phil and his knowledge through technical training workshops and conferences where he delivered on topics including soil analyses and interpretation, sodic soils, soil acidity, soil organic carbon and soil health.
