Abstract The problem of soil aridity is a significant challenge for Australia’s agricultural agenda. The drought itself is a consequence of many factors, among them anticyclone, human activity, and climate change. It is not possible to state definitively which of these factors contributes to the dryness, as they are all causally linked. That said, soil aridity has serious consequences, causing damage to Australia and the global community in both the short and long term. The critical consequences of such a condition are disruption of ecosystem ecological well-being, plant death, reduced crop yields, and famine. In addition, drought causes the ruin of private farms and job losses, which means it is appropriate to talk about the suppression of national economies. This problem becomes even more urgent when one considers the growing population: as the number of consumers increases, so makes the demand for affordable, safe food. Solving all of the above issues and problems imposes a serious responsibility on the agro-industrial complex, which means that agricultural enterprises must use the available resources to find a solution to the problem of drought. For Australia, as a unique island biome, the problem of drought is exceptionally pressing. As a result of such a negative phenomenon, the biodiversity of local flora and fauna is reduced. At the same time, Australia itself is quite a vulnerable country, which often experiences natural disasters. Floods, massive forest fires, and earthquakes negatively affect the quality of fertile land. This portfolio offers a strategy for finding the best solution. Key features of such a strategy are the need to research global experience, the importance of using emerging technologies, and a plurality of opinions. It is crucial to achieving a complete compromise for all stakeholders represented by the public, farmers, entrepreneurs, engineers, and politicians. The project aims to find the best solution to improve at least 25% of dryland soils in Australia. However, the timing of the project is strictly limited: the final results must be achieved no later than 2025. In the end, all efforts should be aimed at improving the current environmental agenda in Australia. The Problem of Australian Soil Drought One of the most important fundamental questions of human survival is the search for optimal resources that allow for efficient existence. Optimal resources are defined as those that are readily available, easily reproducible, and relatively cheap. Thus, an indispensable resource for survival is food, without which humanity will perish. The food supplied must be of high quality, safe, and readily available so as to cover food security needs (Prosecco and Ivanova, 2018). In addition, it should be kept in mind that the global population is growing rapidly. According to Cilluffo and Ruiz (2019), the global population will be about 11 billion people by 2100. Obviously, social demands to provide quality, affordable, and safe food will also increase, which means that agricultural industry organizations will have to increase production capacity. Whereas such opportunities for expansion exist in the fertile soils of the midlands, Australian soils suffer from drought. Thus, the central pr
