*Global CA-CoP* *CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE*

*for sustainable agriculture and land management*

Dear Subscribers,

Please see the announcement from FAO inviting colleagues to a webinar today
on  An overview of Conservation Agriculture at 14:30 – 15:30 PM (Rome Time
– CEST) by Prof Emilio Gonzalez, General Secretary of the European
Conservation Agriculture Federation (ECAF) and Professor at the University
of Cordoba, Spain.

Apologies for any cross-posting.

*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:

Apologies for any cross-posting.

Dear Colleagues,



Below information is for further distribution.



Thank you,

Hafiz



The FAO Technical Network on Sustainable Crop Production and Agroecology is
pleased to invite you to the following seminar:



*An overview of Conservation Agriculture*



*Credits: FAO*



*Wednesday 6 November 2019*



14:30 – 15:30 PM (Rome Time – CEST)

AGD Meeting Room (B640)

Join us online <http://fao.adobeconnect.com/rgzuwh1h8avu/>



Please connect 10 minutes before the webinar starts to ensure the audio
works properly.



Conservation Agriculture (CA) is a crop based farming system that promotes
permanent soil cover, minimum soil disturbance, and diversification of
plant species. It enhances biodiversity and natural biological processes
above and below the ground surface, which contribute to increased water and
nutrient use efficiency. CA is a core component of FAO’s Save and Grow
Approach for sustainable crop production, and is well recognized by
farmers, researchers, and agriculture and extension specialists worldwide
and is currently practiced in 78 countries, on 180 million hectares,
corresponding to 12.5% of global cropland.




*Speaker:*Dr Emilio J. González-Sánchez is Adjunct Professor, holding an
accreditation as Associate Professor, at the Department of Agricultural
Engineering, Agroforestry Engineering Area (University of Cordoba, Spain).
He is a member of the Research Group AGR - 126 Mechanization and Rural
Technology. His background is in sustainable agriculture and land
management based on the principles of Conservation Agriculture, with a
special focus on climate change mitigation, mechanization and environmental
impact assessment. Since May 2000, Gonzalez-Sanchez has been the Executive
Manager of the Spanish Association for Conservation Agriculture / Living
Soils (AEAC/SV), and since January 2006, he has been the Secretary General
of the European Conservation Agriculture Federation (ECAF). He has
been appointed
as International Consultant on Conservation Agriculture and Climate Smart
Agriculture by the FAO in Armenia, Azerbaijan, China, Kyrgyzstan,
Tajikistan, Turkey and Uzbekistan. González-Sánchez is a member of the
International Conservation Agriculture Advisory Panel (ICAAP - Africa).
