*Conservation Agriculture 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 good agricultural production and land
management practices.* *Conservation Agriculture systems are present in all
continents.*

Dear Professor Kassam,



I hope that you are currently safe and well. I am writing to you as editor
of a recent publication entitled ‘*No-till Farming Systems for Sustainable
Agriculture: Challenges and Opportunities*’ edited by Yash Dang, Ram Dalal
and Neal Menzies. This book has recently been released by Springer Nature
 and provides a comprehensive summary of current global research on no-till
farming, and its benefits and challenges from various agronomic,
environmental, social and economic perspectives (
https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030464080).



I have attached a flyer that provides further information on the
publication and from where you can obtain a copy with a special discount
offer. Could you please circulate this information in your newsletters, or
send it to any members who you think may benefit. Thanks in advance.



Kind regards,
