Dear All,

 

The Conference on Conservation Agriculture for Smallholders (CASH) in Asia and Africa, 7-11 December 2014 will be held at Mymensingh, Bangladesh during 7-11 December, 2014.  This CASH event will be an ideal place for Conservation Agriculture practitioners, researchers, policy makers and others to - i) talk to Conservation Agriculture (CA) leaders, including producers, advisors, researchers, policy makers and industry; ii) network with peers from around the world; iii) engage in policy discussion; and iv) learn the latest research on CA. Please visit http://www.scac2014.org/ for detail.

 

We have already identified the following keynote speakers:

 

1.         Dr. Amir Kassam, Keynote Speaker of the opening session to present "An overview of the current status of conservation agriculture globally and for Asia and Africa” to identify progress made and challenges remaining with designing and adapting CA to the circumstances of the smallholders.

 

2.         Professor Deirdre Lemerle, Keynote Speaker - Theme 2: " Weed management: Suitable weed management options (chemical, mechanical, crop rotation and biological)".

 

3.         Dr. Christian Thierfelder, Keynote Speaker - Theme 3: "Soil and water management and agronomy for smallholder Conservation Agriculture".

 

4.         Dr. Rafael Fuentes, Keynote Speaker - Theme 4: "Commercialization adoption and continuous improvement of CA-based technologies".

 

5.         Dr. Peter Hobbs, Keynote Speaker - Theme 5: "Policy and institutional framework of Conservation Agriculture and general reflections on the conference".

 

The large volume of queries received from different people about the conference is also encouraging.

 

With this email, I am encouraging you to submit relevant papers and attend the CASH Conference to share your research findings among the CA community.

 

It will be highly appreciated if you please forward this email along with attachments to other concerned.

 

Thank you very much for support to CASH Conference.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

 

 

Enam
