*Global CA-CoP* *CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE*

*for sustainable production intensification and land management*

Dear Subscribers,


Please see herebelow an anoucement regarding *Online discussion forum:
Sustainable crop production intensification of horticulture crop based
systems. *From 21 October to 21 November 2016, FAO will be hosting a
moderated online discussion forum on sustainable crop production
intensification of horticulture crop based systems.


Save and Grow Guidebooks have a focus on Conservation Agriculture. Hence,
any information on Conservation Agriculture-base horticulture systems would
be of interest.

*From 21 October to 21 November 2016*, FAO will be hosting a moderated
online discussion forum on sustainable crop production intensification of
horticulture crop based systems.

There is growing consensus on the fact that in the future, crop production
intensification will need to be built on farming systems that allow to
produce more from the same area of land while conserving resources and
reducing impacts on the environment. FAO recently released the “Save and
Grow” guidebooks (accessible at http://www.fao.org/ag/save-and
-grow/index_en.html*)* which provide examples of adaptable farming systems,
technologies, practices and enabling policies and institutional
arrangements. Ecosystem based approaches to sustainable crop production
intensification are likely to gain more and more importance in horticulture
as well. The aim of this discussion forum is to bring together experts of
all levels – from scientists who study the potential of sustainable crop
production to the practitioners who apply sustainable horticultural
practices - to   exchange their experiences, new findings and to discuss
limitations and challenges encountered.

All staff are welcome to join and/or spread the word about the online
discussion forum.
