*Conservation Agriculture is an ecosystem approach to sustainable
agriculture and land management based on the practical application of
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 much cover (crop biomass,
stubble and cover crops); and (iii) diversification of cropping system
(environmentally, environmentally and socially adapted rotations and/or
sequences and/or associations involving annuals and 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, organic
production systems and rice-based systems *(more at: www.fao.org/ag/ca).

Hello Amir,

Last week we had an excellent Symposium on CA here in Paraguay organized by
FEPASIDIAS, which was attended by about 500 people. It was said that the
economic contribution of No-tillage in Paraguay was about US $ 500
Million/year accumulating to US $ 14,800 Million in the past 30 years since
introduction of the technology.Unfortunately all the Material is in Spanish
or Portuguese. FEPASIDIAS is the Paraguayan Federation of No-till farmer
associations.

The National meeting discussed improving the No-tillage system in the
country. Currently, more than 80% of production Paraguay grains occurs in
areas under *No-tillage.*

See the link bellow and programme and photos attached.

Best regards

Rojf
