Dear Subscribers,

Please see herebelow a self-explanatory message from Mr. Shekhar Bhadsavle
from Maharashtra, India, regarding an article on carbon sequestration and
CA rice system in which he is involved.

Thank you Mr. Bhadsalve for sharing.

Apologies for any cross-posting.

*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:

Dear Prof. Amir,



Greetings from Saguna Baug, Neral, Maharashtra, India! I hope you are doing
well.



Attached is a write-up on a new initiative that Dr Emmanuel D’Silva and me
have taken up in Maharashtra that has been published by Food Tank, a
think-tank focusing on food and agriculture issues, based in Baltimore, USA.



I would appreciate it if you could circulate this write-up through the
Global CA-CoP Newsletter (see link below):
