*International Conference on Conservation Agriculture and Sustainable Land
Use - 1st circular *


We are glad to inform you, that the *Geographical Institute of the
Hungarian Academy of Sciences* are organising the:


*International Conference on Conservation Agriculture and Sustainable Land
Use.*


The conference will be held in *Budapest, Hungary*, on the
*31.05.-02.06.2016**, *at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Aims of the
conference will be to share knowledge of conservation agriculture
internationally also across different scientific fields.


The application of Conservation Agricultural Systems is spreading
worldwide. New results in the field of scientific and practical
applications are accumulating continuously and therefore it seems to be
important to present and discuss about the new achievements. To support
this intention the Geographical Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy
of Sciences is organizing the International Conference on Conservation
Agriculture and Sustainable Land Use.


Conservation Agriculture is practised on over 155 million hectares around
the world, covering more than one tenth of the global annual cropland
surface. The largest and most rapid expansion has been in North and South
America, Australia/New Zealand, and some parts of Asia and Africa. Compared
to this, the adoption and extension of Conservation Agriculture in Europe
has not been so rapid, despite of the considerable amount of damage caused
by land degradation, mainly because of agricultural mismanagement.


Land degradation affects large areas also on our continent, particularly in
the semi-arid regions. The already unsustainable rates of soil erosion are
supposed to increase significantly over the next century due to land cover
and precipitation changes. Improving conservation agricultural techniques
by scientific research and practice and the dissemination of results and
experiences are therefore crucial and an important challenge for
specialists engaged in sustainable land use around the world.


The aim of the conference is to promote this striving by inviting
scientists to meet and discuss the results, problems and the possibilities
of further development in this field.

Keynote speakers:

*Márta Birkás, *Szent István University, *Hungary*

*José Alfonso Gómez,* Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas,
*Spain*

*Gerard Govers, *Catholic University of Leuven, *Belgium*

*John Quinton, *Lancaster University, *UK*
