*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).

Dear All,
Please find herebelow the link to the PDF version of the *"Manual for
Smallholders' Conservation Agriculture in Rice-based Systems".* I am really
grateful for your contribution to make it happen.
http://researchrepository.murdoch.edu.au/id/eprint/41693
I am happy to inform you that the Manual was Launched by Begum Matia
Chowdhury, MP, Honorable Minister, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of
Bangladesh; H.E. Ms. Julia Niblett, Australian High Commissioner to
Bangladesh; Mr. Mohammad Moinuddin Abdullah, Senior Secretary, Ministry of
Agriculture, Government of Bangladesh; Dr. Md. Ikramul Haque, Executive
Chairman, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council; Professor Andrew
Campbell, Chief Executive Officer, Australian Centre for International
Agricultural Research; and Dr. Wais Kabir, Executive Director, Krishi
Gobeshona Foundation.
About 300 agricultural scientists from home and abroad were present during
the launching ceremony and received a hard copy of the Manual.
This Manual is for your record and for wide circulation. Please let me know
if you need some printed copies. The next steps are to publish it in
Bengali and pictorial versions which is now under development.
We would be grateful if Amir will take necessary steps to circulate it.
Further, the manual will be preserved in Murdoch University and ACIAR Web
based repository.
Thank you again for your contentious support.
Kind regards,
Enam
