Dear Subscribers,

Please see herebelow a message from Dr. Roberto Peiretti regarding a free
course on Conservation Agriculture that is delivered by the Faculty of the
Córdoba National University of Argentina and administered by EdX.

Thank you Dr. Peiretti for sharing.

Apologies for any cross-posting.

*Conservation Agriculture (CA) is an ecological approach to regenerative
sustainable agriculture and ecosystem 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).* *These
practices are complemented with other complementary good agricultural
production and land management practices to generate and sustain optimum
performance.*



*CA 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.
CA systems operate regeneratively at multiple levels to optimally harness a
range of productivity, economic, environmental, and social benefits as well
as address local and global concerns related to food and water security,
climate change, land degradation, biodiversity and smallholder agricultural
development.*

Dear colleagues and friends.

I am sharing with all of you the Flyer (in English and Spanish ) of a new
Free Course related to the No-Till System ( Conservation Agriculture) that
is delivered by my Faculty of the Córdoba National University of Argentina
and administered by the EDX Program of Harvard University USA. I
participate in offering a class on the first module 'The No Till System,
Historical context'.

The whole program is delivered to many countries, actually more than 60 as
they informed me, and as far as you do not take it for academic credit
which implies to take the exams etc, it is for free. On the other hand if
you want to get academic credit you have to pay.

To explore and eventually take it just click the link included in the Flyer.

Hope it will be of interest for you.
