*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 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: www.fao.org/ag/ca).

Global Soil Erosion dataset
<https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/content/global-soil-erosion>

This Global Soil Erosion map 2012 (GeoTIFF format) at *25km resolution*
(re-sampled) is availa­ble for free download. It is based on the Version
1.1 of the JRC/University of Basel "RUSLE-based Global Soil Erosion
Modelling platform (GloSEM)". The original resolution is ca. 250m and we
pro­vide an example for those data (location: Amazon rainforest). The data
package includes also the soil erosion estimate in 2001, the input factors
(K, LS, C, R) and ArcMap project files. The full doc­umentation of the
datasets is provided in the published article
<https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-02142-7> and the additional
material
<https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41467-017-02142-7/MediaObjects/41467_2017_2142_MOESM1_ESM.pdf>.

World Soils 2019 user consultation meeting
<http://worldsoils2019.esa.int/index.php>

In the context of the EO Science for Society Programme Element, the
European Space Agency is organis­ing World Soils 2019 (*02 - 03 July 2019
at ESA ESRIN*, Frascati, Italy), a user consultation workshop on
space-based EO tools for mapping and monitoring soils, with the aim to
bring together stakeholders from the policy and user domains with remote
sensing experts to discuss the development of a Soil Moni­toring System
utilizing space-based EO data in combination with in-situ data and
modeling. Deadline for abstract submission: 31.5.19

Wageningen Soil Conference 2019 <https://wageningensoilconference.eu/2019/>*
(WSC2019)*

Wageningen University & Research is delighted to invite you to join the 4th
edition of the Wageningen Soil Conference (*27-30 Aug. 2019*).  In the 2019
edition, the focus will be on “Understanding soil functions: from ped to
planet”. The conference proposes traditional conference talks in the
mornings, followed by a range of scientific and interactive topic
masterclasses in the afternoons. Masterclasses will include a range of
topics linking to four themes: 1) Soil functions for society; 2) Innovative
methods for measuring soil functions; 3) Modelling & mapping of soil
functions across scales; 4) Can we understand synergies and trade-offs
between soil functions?   https://wageningensoilconference.eu/2019/

TERRAenVISION <https://terraenvision.eu/>* 2019*

Join the second edition of the TERRAenVISION conference. This year the
conference will be on working towards the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). Venue: University of *Barcelona, 3-7 September 2019.* TERRAenVISION
proposes more than 20  sessions in which different aspects of Science for
Society will be addressed. Among them, Land degradation and Restoration,
Environ­mental & anthropogenic drivers for soil pollution, Ecosystem
services, Fire in Earth system, Nature-based solutions, Science policy
interface.  https://terraenvision.eu/
