*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:

Hello friends!
I'm writing to give you a quick notice about two new, deeply participatory,
online courses, as well as a free webinar I'm hosting, all with the Land
and Leadership Initiative
<https://didipershouse.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6075151f49894b2c63289a22a&id=1c178265ee&e=7906f4d8e3>
.
Because the courses are live and discussion-based, they have limited
spaces. (The writing course has about 6 spots still open.)
Thanks to past participants and others who have donated, we have some
financial assistance available for those who cannot otherwise afford to
take the course--especially for farmers, young adults, and current and
emerging community leaders from the Global South (a word for people and
places that are economically at a disadvantage in the global economy).
Read on for more details!

for Regeneration: Harnessing the Power of Our Stories to Drive Changes in
Land Management and Policy*
This five-week course begins May 3rd and happens live online, Fridays from
11 am to 1 pm, Eastern time zone (New York). I'm teaching this one, with a
special co-teacher. You can learn more here.

*FREE POLICY WEBINAR*: On *Monday, April 29th*, the Land and Leadership
Initiative

and the non-profit Soil Carbon Coalition
<https://didipershouse.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6075151f49894b2c63289a22a&id=6ea1f04af8&e=7906f4d8e3>
are co-hosting a free webinar entitled *"How New Mexico Passed its Healthy
Soils Act."* I will be interviewing Jeff Goebel, Christina Allday-Bondy,
Robb Hirsch, and Isabelle Jenniches, four of the many people who were
instrumental in getting *principles-based soil-health legislation* passed
in New Mexico last month by using consensus-building processes.
You can sign up here to join us live and/or watch the recording later.

New Ground in Soil Health Legislation: How to Use Listening, Consensus, and
Holistic Management to Create Policy that People Agree On*
This live online class will be taught by the amazing facilitator and
Holistic Management educator Jeff Goebel
<https://didipershouse.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6075151f49894b2c63289a22a&id=a23d2586ed&e=7906f4d8e3>
of
the Community Consensus Institute. (I will be there too, as an assistant
facilitator). The course begins on May 6th, and runs for four weeks (three
Mondays and a *Tuesday*) from 11 am - 1 pm EST. More information is here.

Jeff Goebel and his partner Myrna sent along this amazing picture of a
double rainbow that appeared at their farm in New Mexico last week.
I send it along as a reminder that WE HUMANS could actually make a covenant
not to destroy the Earth again. What do you think that would look like?
What part would you like to play in making that a reality? (These are not
rhetorical questions. Please write back: I'd love to hear your answers!)
I offer these courses in an attempt to do my part.
With love and gratitude for each of you, and what you do.
