Dear Subscribers,

Please see herebelow a self-explanatory message from Dr. ML Jat, CIMMYT,
India, regarding the new article on “Conservation Agriculture for
Sustainable Intensification in South Asia” just published in Nature
Sustainability.

Also, the message mentions the press release about the article from key
partners and India’s NARS leadership; Dr T Mohapatra, Director General ICAR
and Secretary, DARE, Govt of India.

Thank you Dr. Jat for sharing.

*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:

Subject: Nature Sustainability-New Research evidence on CA for sustainable
intensification is South Asia
To: Amir Kassam <[log in to unmask]>


Dear Dr Amir



Greetings from CIMMYT-India , New Delhi



Hope all is going well. Am pleased to share our new article on
“Conservation Agriculture for Sustainable Intensification in South Asia”
just published in Nature Sustainability (
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-020-0500-2). This analysis is a
product of the collaborative research of CIMMYT, ICAR, IRRI, US Davis &
Cornell University and provides first of its kind synthesized evidence on
CA in South Asia based on the work undertaken in the region over past 2
decades. This synthesis provides a larger picture of CA for potential
benefits and may help policy planners and development agencies for
prioritizing investments on CA for a multiple win



Please also see link below for a press release of the same with messages
from key partners and India’s NARS leadership; Dr T Mohapatra, Director
General ICAR and Secretary, DARE, Govt of India.

You may please share this among the CA-CoP



Wish you and whole community a safe and healthy time under the prevailing
COVID-19 pandemic



Best regards, ML
