*for sustainable agriculture and land management*

Dear Subscribers,

Please see the link herebelow (and attachment) for "Brazil, an example of
sustainable agriculture".

https://febrapdp.org.br/noticias/633/brasil-exemplo-de-agricultura-sustentavel
It says:

Direct Planting System (SPD) has been revolutionizing Brazilian agriculture
and to this day is one of the main factors to increase productivity with
conservation of the environment.
(Sistema Plantio Direto (SPD) vem revolucionando a agricultura brasileira e
até hoje é um dos principais fatores para o aumento da produtividade com
conservação do meio ambiente.)

Thank you Rolf Derpsch for sharing.

*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:
