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

*for sustainable production intensification*


Dear Subscribers,

Following is a brief note on conservation agriculture in Nicaragua from
WFP's Purchase for Progress (P4P) newsletter for September 2014.

Although the article refers to minimum tillage, there is no tillage
involved, and the minimum tillage corresponds to minimum soil disturbance.

*Smallholders benefit from conservation farming in Nicaragua
<http://www.wfp.org/purchase-progress/news/blog/smallholders-benefit-conservation-farming-nicaragua>*

In the Nueva Segovia region of Nicaragua, P4P is supporting farmers’
organizations to utilize low-cost, environmentally-friendly techniques and
technologies. These sustainable practices, which include minimal tillage
farming and the use of organic materials in soil enrichment, are enabling
smallholders to benefit from increased yields, improved crop quality and
reduced production costs.
