*Conservation Agriculture is an ecological approach to regenerative
sustainable agriculture and ecosystem 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).* *These
practices are complemented with other 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
Agriculture systems operate regeneratively at multiple levels to harness a
range of productivity, economic, environmental and social benefits as well
as address local and global concerns related to food and water security,
climate change, land degradation, biodiversity and smallholder agricultural
development.* *Conservation Tillage, Reduced Tillage, Low tillage and
Minimum Tillage are not Conservation Agriculture, and nor is No-Till on its
own**. For a practice or a method to be referred to as a CA practice, it
must be part of a CA system. If not, then it is what it is, a practice or a
method like any other with its own* *name e.g. no-till seeding, mulch
cover, diverse cropping, etc  *(more at:
http://www.fao.org/conservation-agriculture).
