*Conservation Agriculture is an ecosystem approach to sustainable
agriculture and land management based on the practical application of
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
(socio-economically and environmentally adapted rotations and/or sequences
and/or associations involving annuals and perennials, including legumes and
cover crops), along with other complementary good agricultural production
management practices* (more at: www.fao.org/ag/ca).
