*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. *

Dear Gentlemen
For your information.
What was to be a workshop at the University of Manitoba, Canada, has now
been transformed into a 5-part webinar series. If you are like me, the
exponential growth of webinar opportunities is overwhelming. I am
thankful when they assemble them in a recorded format. Such is the case
here.
This is an information/promotional webinar series put on by the
fertilizer industry that is focussed on intensive production
(tillage/monoculture). Thus, Conservation Agriculture is not a focus and
may not be mentioned. Regardless, they attempt to update everyone on the
latest research for fertilizer and agronomic technology that can be sold to
farmers - in this case with African applications.
The 4R system is the Right product, Right rate, Right timing, Right
placement of fertilizers.
CANADA AFRICA 4R SOLUTION AND PRECISION NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT ONLINE SERIES.
- The second webinar in the series occurred today (too early for me to
attend) on the topic: Tools and Strategies for Boosting 4R Practice
Adoption. URL-page
<https://mailchi.mp/45a3ecfa322f/register-now-4990037>.
- The main page is here <https://4rsolution.org/4r-webinars/>.
Following is the reply I received *today *from Fertilizer Canada which will
be helpful to track the proceedings from today's webinar and to register
for the next on greenhouse gases (or a calendar note to monitor the website
after that date).
Thank you for joining us in our second webinar of the Canada – Africa 4R
Solution and Precision Nutrient Management Online series today. In case you
have missed it or want to revisit, the *webinar presentation, speaker bios
are available *here <https://4rsolution.org/4r-webinars/>.
We are now working on compiling the questions and answers from the webinar;
and this will be published in our website too the coming days.
I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to our third webinar of
the series. This will be hosted on *Monday August 10 from 8:00 am (EST) –
10:00 am (EST)*. The theme of the webinar is : *“Effecrs of 4Rs on
Greenhouse Gas Emission.”* *The final agenda and speakers will be
announced very soon. The registration link is now open and you can
**register here

Stay healthy everyone!
Best regards,
