Dear Subscribers,

It is exactly two years to the date when the FIELD DAY of the 8th World
Congress on Conservation Agriculture (8WCCA) will take place, on July 2nd,
2020 at Witzwil close to Gampelen in the Canton of Berne, Switzerland.

The local SWISS NO-TILL organizing committee has prepared a *Save the date*
flyer which is attached for your kind attention.


Thank you Wolfgang Sturny for sharing the flyer.


In the coming days, a 2nd Announcement for the 8WCCA will be distributed
giving details on the emerging programme, speakers, registration,
submission of extended abstracts, committees, sponsors etc.

*Conservation Agriculture is an ecosystem approach to regenerative
sustainable agriculture and land management based on the practical
application of context-specific and locally adapted three interlinked
principles of: (i) Continuous no or minimum mechanical soil disturbance
(no-till seeding/planting and weeding, and minimum soil disturbance with
all other farm operations including harvesting);  (ii) permanent
maintenance of soil mulch cover (crop biomass, stubble and cover crops);
and (iii) diversification of cropping system (economically, environmentally
and socially adapted rotations and/or sequences and/or associations
involving annuals and/or perennials, including legumes and cover crops),
along with other complementary good agricultural production and land
management practices. Conservation Agriculture systems are present in all
continents, involving rainfed and irrigated systems including annual
cropland systems, perennial systems, orchards and plantation systems,
agroforestry systems, crop-livestock systems, pasture and rangeland
systems, organic production systems and rice-based systems. Conservation
Tillage, Reduced Tillage and Minimum Tillage are not Conservation
Agriculture, and nor is No-Till on its own* (more at:
