*PRACTICE** Global CA-CoP* *CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY OF*
*for sustainable agriculture, land use and ecosystem management*
Dear Subscribers,
Thank you all for your wonderful work on all fronts during 2021 to promote
the adoption and spread of Conservation Agriculture worldwide and to
improve its quality.
The year 2021 was marked by the 8th World Congress on Conservation which
was successfully organised by ECAF and SWISS No-Till on behalf of the
Global CA Community. The Congress was attended by more than 780
participants from farmer associations, international organisations,
scientific institutions, private sector, non governmental and civil society
organisations. They represented more than 108 countries, from the developed
and developing world.
The total area of Conservation Agriculture globally exceeded 200 M ha of
cropland in 2018/19 which corresponds to about 15% of the global cropland
area. Given the urgent need to accelerate the global move to sustainable
food systems, and in particular to respond to the global challenge to
mitigate the advancing climate change, the Congress agreed that the CA
Community should aim at bringing at least 50% of the global cropland area
or 700 million hectares under good quality CA systems by 2050.
The Congress Declaration and the Inaugural Speech are attached as a kind
reminder of the important role the Global CA Community is playing in
transforming global agriculture to achieve sustainable food system that is
good for society and the planet.
I wish you all a Happy, Healthy and Successful New Year.
Kind regards.
Amir
