*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:

Hello Amir

The next episode of the *Cover Crop Strategies* Podcast, brought to
you by Cover
Crop Innovators
<http://email.covercropstrategies.com/portal/wts/uemcnc-jf%7CaqAw%7Ceks3qvvgt4a>,
is
now available. Listen to the full episode now >>
<http://email.covercropstrategies.com/portal/wts/ugmcnc-jf%7CaqAw%7Ceks6Lvvgt4avDGr2FqA1tl8a>

Hungarian growers are just becoming more interested in cover crops and
no-till, despite the fact that they plow up to 90% of their land.

In this episode, "Cover Crop Lessons Learned in Hungary
<http://email.covercropstrategies.com/portal/wts/ugmcnc-jf%7CaqAw%7Ceks7avvgt4avDGr2FqA1tl8a>,"
Pennsylvania cover crop expert Steve Groff shares his observations from
visiting the country for their first-ever soil health conference.
He explains why it’s important to review the basics of cover cropping, why
radishes are the best choice for a beginning cover crop, what lupins are,
and much more.

Thanks for listening,
