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

*for sustainable agriculture and land management*

Dear Subscribers,

Please see herebelow an invitation to participate in a *Survey on the
potential contribution of Land Degradation Neutrality* (*LDN) to enhancing
the well-bei**ng and livelihoods of people as well as the state of the
environment*.

Conservation Agriculture (CA) has a major regenerative ecological and
economic role to play in making LDN a reality, given that: (a) CA mitigates
agricultural land degradation, (b) CA rehabilitates abandoned agricultural
land due to degradation, (c) CA enhances productivity of agricultural land
through building soil health and biodiversity, and minimizing soil erosion;
(d) and CA restores ecosystem supportive, regulatory and provisioning
functions in agricultural lands.

*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 much 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 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 and Minimum Tillage
are not Conservation Agriculture, and nor is No-Till on its own *(more at:

To: LAND-L Mailing List <[log in to unmask]>


*Have your say! *

* Survey on the potential contribution of Land Degradation Neutrality* (*LDN)
to enhancing the well-bei**ng and livelihoods of people as well as the
state of the environment *(please find attached the signed invitation
letter – in English, French and Spanish)


*Dear Colleagues,*

The *Science-Policy Interface (SPI) of the United Nations Convention to
Combat Desertification (UNCCD) *
<https://knowledge.unccd.int/home/science-policy-interface/how-spi-works>wishes
to *invite you* *to participate in a survey* on *the potential
contribution* *of
Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) to enhancing the well-being and
livelihoods of people as well as the state of the environment*. More
investigation is needed for more effective implementation of LDN by: 1)
learning from experiences; 2) understanding the role of enabling and
reinforcing factors, including land governance; 3) identification of
options to enhance the benefits of LDN for human well-being and
livelihoods. All this will help refine the implementation of LDN.

The information you provide through this survey is planned to feed into
deliverables of objective 1.2 of the *SPI Work Programme 2018-2019*
<https://knowledge.unccd.int/sites/default/files/inline-files/SPI_%20WP2018-2019.pdf>
*,* adopted by decision 21/COP.13, and has a great potential of shaping
deliberations of the fourteenth session of the UNCCD Conference of the
Parties in October 2019. *Responses will be stored anonymously *and the
results of the survey will be presented in an aggregated format without
identifying individual respondents.

* Please access the link: <**https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LDN_survey*
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LDN_survey>*>*. It will only take 20
minutes to complete the survey and share your views on what is needed to
achieve and maintain LDN in terms of policies, incentives, and support for
implementation. *The survey will be closed on 24th December 2018*.

* Should you have any questions, please contact Mr. Cameron Allen <*
*[log in to unmask]* <[log in to unmask]>*>.*

Thank you in advance for your collaboration, as your feedback by completing
this survey is highly valued and will contribute to improved information to
support effective LDN implementation in the frame of the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development.



Sincerely,

Members of the UNCCD Science-Policy Interface (SPI)
