*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 much 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 and Minimum Tillage are not Conservation Agriculture, and nor is
No-Till on its own* (more at: *http://www.fao.org/conservation-agriculture

Dear Amir,
I hope all is well. The CA - Training Guide for Extension Agents and
Farmers in Eastern Europe and Central Asia that Hafiz and I have prepared
has been published.
It is available in English at:
http://www.fao.org/3/i7154en/i7154en.pdf
In Russian at:
http://www.fao.org/3/a-i7154r.pdf
In Turkish at:
http://www.fao.org/3/i7154tr/I7154TR.pdf
Would it be possible to circulate it through the CA CoP newsletter?
Many thanks,
Sandra
