*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:

*General Session*

Wednesday, January 8 @ 8:45 to 9:20 a.m.

*The Road to Continuous No-Till and Enhanced, Efficient and Profitable
System Performance.*

No-tillers today must farm in a globalized and competitive world trying to
meet the ever-growing demand for agricultural products — all while becoming
more and more efficient, meeting environmental goals and staying
profitable, says long-time no-tiller and consultant Roberto Peiretti.



A founding member of the Argentinian no-till farms association AAPRESID and
a co-founder of Bioceres, Peiretti will share the main principles of his
systemic approach to no-tilling honed over the past 40 years in Argentina,
Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. He'll explain the benefits of integrating
crop rotation, cover crops, carbon farming and fertilizer use and placement
to create an efficient, high-powered no-till system. Peiretti, who farms
with his wife Cintia, will also provide a glimpse of no-till adoption
progress and benefits obtained in South America.


And Don't Miss Peiretti's Classroom Session

*No-Till Classroom #14*

Thursday, January 9 @ 3:40 to 4:40 p.m.

*Solving the Riddle of Cover Crops and Fertilizer Management.*

Simply just getting cover crops established on farms can be challenge. But
many no-tillers complain it's even harder to quantify the effect cover are
having on soil nutrients and make the right decision on adjusting
fertilizer applications to ensure cash crops still have the nutrients they
need.



Veteran no-tiller and farm consultant Roberto Peiretti of Argentina will
share some valuable insights on measuring the nutrients and biomass cover
crops contribute to the soil profile and what mistakes no-tillers should
avoid making when deciding on possible reductions in fertilizer
application. The founder of AAPRESID, the Argentinian no-till farmers
association, will also answer questions attendees might have no-till
innovations and developments in other regions of the world.
