Dear Amir,

 Please post on the CA CoP:


A large amount of research has been carried out on the impact of
Conservation Agriculture on soil fertility, crop yields and environmental
benefits but there appears to be little research so far on the impact of CA
on human nutrition, particularly child and maternal nutrition. Concern
Worldwide
Zambia therefor commissioned Dr Anne-Marie Mayer to carry out an initial
study on the potential nutritional impacts of CA amongst practicing CA
farmers in Zambia. Report attached.



Please let me know if you are aware of any research on CA and human
nutrition, particularly soil-plant-human nutrient flows and mycotoxins risks
.
