*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:

Farmers around the world face different challenges, but North American
growers can learn a lot from how farmers in other countries solve problems.

In this episode, "Cover Crops Around the Globe
<http://email.covercropstrategies.com/portal/wts/uemcnc-ckj6ba9w7b%5EDF2hkwv-e%7C8EPDqEvTP-Nd>,"
Pennsylvania cover crop expert Steve Groff shares insights on how growers
use cover crops to retain moisture in the soil in Australia, managing soil
erosion in Tasmania, observations on soil types and structure in France,
and more.

Thanks for listening,
