*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:

Soil holds powerful insights about what America is made of and many people
leverage historical data about it to make better use of their land. SoilWeb
2.0, a revamped smartphone app from Agriculture Department's Natural
Resources Conservation Service and the University of California at Davis'
Soil Resource Laboratory, translates the world's largest database of soil
information into a smart and simple interface that teaches people about
their present-day surroundings. But the road to SoilWeb 2.0 was a rocky one.

The draft Bay cleanup plans drawn up by watershed states fall short of
ensuring the region will finally achieve its longstanding goal of
delivering a healthy Chesapeake by 2025, federal officials have concluded.
Reviews by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency confirm that drafts
submitted by two states, Pennsylvania and New York, fail to achieve
nutrient reduction goals set for those jurisdictions.  READ MORE

Soil is a finite and fragile resource. it is unequally distributed
geographically and is prone to degradation and depletion because of the
growing pressure to produce good and ecosystem services for the rapidly
increasing and progressively affluent human population. The global per
capita arable land area was 0.37 ha (0.91 ac) in 1961 and is projected to
be 0.17 ha (0.42 ac; and less than 0.14 ha [0.35 ac] in developing
countries) by 2050 (Lal 2016).  READ MORE

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has suspended data collection for its
annual Honey Bee Colonies report, citing cost cuts — a move that robs
researchers and the honeybee industry of a critical tool for understanding
honeybee population declines, and comes as the USDA is curtailing other
research programs.  READ MORE

A bloom of toxic algae has forced Mississippi to close 25 beaches along its
Gulf Coast. State environmental officials say people can still visit the
sandy beaches — but they should avoid any contact with the water. The algae
are thriving because after weeks of heavy rainfall, freshwater has
contaminated the gulf's normal saltwater. The effects are being felt along
a lengthy band of the coast, from the Mississippi Sound to Lake
Pontchartrain in Louisiana, where a large bloom has also been reported.  READ

The
New Food Economy
In Mississippi, a bluish-green algal bloom has closed all the beaches. This
particular outbreak can be traced back at least in part to the flooding
that inundated the Midwest earlier this year. Floodwaters flushed into the
Mississippi River, which rose high enough that the Army Corps of Engineers
opened a spillway that empties into Lake Pontchartrain, which is connected
to the Gulf of Mexico. The resulting flow of water and nutrients fed the
algae, which in turn sucks oxygen out of the water and stresses fish and
crabs. Algal blooms are primarily caused by runoff from manure and
synthetic fertilizers used on farmland.  READ MORE

Ag
Alert
Agricultural water suppliers must develop annual water budgets and drought
plans that meet requirements of recently enacted legislation, and are
meeting with state officials to comply with the updated law — a process
that could ultimately affect water costs for California farmers and
ranchers. California Farm Bureau Federation Director of Water Resources
Danny Merkley said the process stems from 2009 law, and updates passed last
year, which require the state Department of Water Resources to consult with
agricultural stakeholders to quantify water-use efficiency.  READ MORE

Conversation via Phys.org
There are serious challenges to global food supply everywhere we look.
Intensive use of fertilisers in the U.S. Midwest is causing nutrients to
run off into rivers and streams, degrading the water quality and causing a
Connecticut-size dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico. A variety of nutritional
impacts are predicted due to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide —
including decreased protein content in food, which has a potential to
exacerbate malnutrition. The future of food then, may sound rather bleak.
But this does not have to be the case.  READ MORE

From 2012 to 2017, the number of acres with cover crops on Minnesota farms
rose by 42% , and the number of no-till acres more than doubled, increasing
from 440,681 to 1,091,337 acres, according to the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's (USDA) Census of Agriculture. Historical trends for Winona
County were not available, but the latest census shows no-till agriculture
was practiced on 14,205 acres of land in Winona County and cover crops were
planted on 6,836 acres.  READ MORE
