*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-krOaqF76e7M06y%3B6F8c>,
is
now available. Listen to the full episode now >>

While cover crops are being utilized across the U.S., in all 50 states,
adoption has lagged behind a bit in semi-arid climates due to concerns
about soil moisture being depleted.

In part one of a two-part podcast series, "Making Cover Crops Work in Area
with Less Than 20-Inch Rainfall: Part 1
<http://email.covercropstrategies.com/portal/wts/ugmcnc-krOaqF76e7M4qy%3B6F868kCs7cAx9stla>,"
Holtwood,
Pa., grower and cover crop innovator Steve Groff will share some real
examples of farmers from dryland areas that are using cover crops,
including one who proclaimed he has the lowest annual rainfall (no
irrigation) of any farmer in the world who is still seeding covers.

Thanks for listening,
