*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 Amir,



The European Conservation Agriculture Federation (ECAF) is organizing a
workshop entitled *‘Best Agricultural Practices: Linking Climate Change
mitigation and adaptation with CAP’*. This event, which will be held on the
afternoon of *November 7th, 2018 at the European Parliament in Brussels*,
will highlight the outcomes of the LIFE+ Climagri project (www.climagri.eu).



The workshop will focus on topics with great interest for the upcoming new
CAP and will take place at a time when deliberations regarding the CAP
reform are in full swing. The very close relationship between European
agriculture and climate change is other important issue addressed in the
event. Additionally, the workshop will count on a session on which farmers
of the European Network of Demo Farms (ENDF) that has been set up during
the project will share their experiences and will show that the practices
proposed in Climagri are feasible, beneficial and profitable.



The *discussions held at this event will offer a great opportunity to voice
out your opinion* due to the forum, the topic and the appropriate time.



You can find updated information related to the workshop at
http://workshop.climagri.eu, where you can see the program and register.
Due to authorization procedures required by the European Parliament,
*registration
in advance is compulsory and the info requested in the registration form
necessary*.

*IMPORTANT NOTE:* PLEASE TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT, IN ORDER TO GET THE
PERMISSIONS TO ENTER THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, IT IS NECESSARY TO REGISTER
TO THE WORKSHOP NOT LATER THAN OCTOBER 24TH, 2018.



Thanks so much! Best regards,
