*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:

Soil isn't the only thing that we are losing from erosion. A new study
estimates $8 billion in global economic losses caused by soil erosion
reducing crop yields and increasing water usage. Climate change is making
soil erosion worse. And certain countries are paying the price. READ MORE

In the summer, millions of lush green acres of corn and soybeans blanket
the Midwest. Come fall, many harvesters scrape crop fields until they are
black and barren, exposing large swaths of vulnerable land to heavy rains,
melting snow and powerful winds. Until the following year's planting, soils
laden with toxic farm chemicals are left to wash downstream, where they may
contaminate sources of drinking water. But there is a highly effective
strategy that can both reduce polluted runoff and hold the soil in place:
planting cover crops. READ MORE

Native earthworms disappeared from most of northern North America 10,000
years ago, during the ice age. Now invasive earthworm species from southern
Europe — survivors of that frozen epoch, and introduced to this continent
by European settlers centuries ago — are making their way through northern
forests. READ MORE

The
Hagstrom Report via The Fence Post
Tom Vilsack, president and CEO of the U.S. Dairy Export Council, said May
21 that the Agriculture Department should help establish "pilot farms" that
would bring together all the technologies that have been developed to
address sustainability and climate change, and should promote what works
best. Vilsack, who was the Agriculture secretary in the Obama
administration, testified at a Senate Agriculture Committee hearing on
climate change that amounted to a defense of U.S. animal agriculture. READ

Specially developed foams could help avert a global food security crisis by
replacing fast-degrading soils, according to scientists. Experts from the
new Institute for Sustainable Food at the University of Sheffield have
found that crops planted in polyurethane foams at an urban farm grow two to
10 times faster than plants grown in soil. Using a network of pipes,
nutrient solutions, controlled growing environments and foams, scientists
are growing everything from salad to tomatoes — demonstrating a potential
solution to the global crisis of soil fertility. READ MORE

An international team is using advanced tools to develop crops that give
farmers more options for sustainably producing more food on less land. To
do this, thousands of plant prototypes must be carefully analyzed to figure
out which genetic tweaks work best. In a special issue of the journal
Remote Sensing of Environment, scientists have shown a new technology can
more quickly scan an entire field of plants to capture improvements in
their natural capacity to harvest energy from the sun. READ MORE

When thinking about ways to end global hunger, many scholars focus too
narrowly on increasing crop yields while overlooking other critical aspects
of the food system. That's one conclusion from a research team that
reviewed recent scholarly papers discussing the United Nations goal of

17 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the U.N. in 2015. The stated
goal is to "end hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition, and
promote sustainable agriculture" worldwide. READ MORE

Northeast farmers about them. READ MORE

U.S. Senator Michael Bennet, a 2020 Democratic presidential contender,
unveiled a plan on May 20 to tackle climate change with a focus on slashing
emissions from farming and ranching and conserving nearly a third of U.S.
lands. The senator from Colorado, a state rich in farms and ranches, said
his climate plan is the only one to focus on agriculture and conserving
land to sequester carbon dioxide while also seeking emissions cuts from
power plants, transportation and heavy industry. READ MORE

University of Idaho scientists built a machine to clean harmful elements
out of water in hopes of revolutionizing how groundwater is cleaned in
Idaho and around the world. The Clean Water Machine takes water
contaminated with phosphorus and nitrous oxide from agriculture and runs it
through a series of tanks and filters while introducing iron. The
phosphorus and nitrous oxide bonds to the iron and is separated using sand.
