*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 much 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. Conservation Tillage and Minimum Tillage
are not Conservation Agriculture, and nor is No-Till on its own *(more at:

*A deal was done in Katowice, Poland tonight that brought the Paris
Agreement to life, but failed to give it a certain future.*
It also bucked a trend of decline in the multilateral order and gave a much
searched for win to those who wish for global solutions to global problems.
The rules adopted were more comprehensive than many had expected to be
returned from Cop24.

*** FROM WE MEAN BUSINESS: **A host of multinational companies – including
shipping giant Maersk, power utility Iberdrola, Indian industrial major
Mahindra Group and the world’s largest furniture maker IKEA Group – showed
up in force at COP24 in Poland to deliver a resounding message to policy
makers: Business is acting on climate change. Increasingly ambitious
national climate commitments – coupled with clear and confident policy
signals to business – will enable companies to help deliver the goals of
the Paris Agreement at the pace required. Read more from Nigel Topping, CEO
of the We Mean Business coalition >
