Dear Subscribers,

Please see herebelow the link to FAO's report on *The State of the World’s
Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture*.

The report is prepared by the Secretariat of the Commission on Genetic
Resources for Food and Agriculture with
collaborations from many contributors.

Aplogies for any cross-posting.

*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 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: www.fao.org/ag/ca).
