*Conservation Agriculture is an ecosystem approach to sustainable
agriculture and land management based on the practical application of 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 much cover (crop biomass, stubble and cover
crops); and (iii) diversification of cropping system (socio-economically
and environmentally adapted rotations and/or sequences and/or associations
involving annuals and perennials, including legumes and cover crops), along
with other complementary good agricultural production management
practices *(more
