*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 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* (more at: www.fao.org/ag/ca).

Dear colleagues,



We are pleased to share with you the Global Alliance on Climate-Smart
Agriculture and partner’s new publication, *Compendium on Climate-Smart
Irrigation <http://www.fao.org/3/CA1726EN/ca1726en.pdf>**: Concepts,
evidence and options for a climate-smart approach to improving the
performance of irrigated cropping systems.*



The compendium provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and
issues for sustainable irrigation development, both related and unrelated
to climate change. It discusses the options and opportunities for each of
the three pillars of climate-smart agriculture (CSA), identifies potential
synergies and trade-offs between the different objectives of CSA, and
underscores the importance of inclusive processes engaging stakeholders
across different sectors and institutional levels.

Please feel free to share with your networks and beyond.



Thank you and best regards,
