*CA-CoP* *CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE
**for sustainable production intensification*

Dear Susbscribers,

agricultures network
magazines<http://www.agriculturesnetwork.org/get-involved/participate/guide-for-authors>
document
practical field experiences on sustainable agriculture. They offer an
opportunity for those working in agricultural development, particularly in
diverse, risk-prone and resource-poor regions, to publish their experiences
and to read about the experiences of others. All magazines are published
four times a year, and each issue deals with a particular theme. 2014 was
by the United Nations as the International Year of Family Farming. This is
a very important recognition of the multiple social, economic,
environmental and cultural functions of family farming. For example, family
farmers produce more than 50% of the worlds food, and are important
guardians of biodiversity. Creating the conditions for family farming to
thrive is essential for a sustainable future. Call for articles:
Strengthening family farming. Deadline: October 1st, 2013.
