*CA-CoP* *CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE* *for sustainable production intensification* Dear Subscribers, An International Conservation Agriculture Advisory Panel for Africa (ICAAP-Africa) has been established by the Africa Conservation Tillage (ACT) Network (http://www.act-africa.org/). The establishment of ICAAP-Africa was called for under the auspices of the Lusaka Declaration of the 1st Africa Congress on Conservation Agriculture (IACCA) held in Lusaka in March 2014. The ICAAP-Africa comprises a group of global Conservation Agriculture Experts whose role is to serve as a think tank to advise the ACT Network on policy, scientific, economic, social and technical issues that may have a bearing on the Network's priorities and strategies for mainstreaming Conservation Agriculture in Africa. A dossier on ICAAP-Africa is attached for your kind information. The dossier can also be downloaded from: http://www.act-africa.org/contacc.php?com=2&com2=15&com3= . *Amir Kassam * *Moderator* e-mail: [log in to unmask] URL: www.fao.org/ag/ca ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CA-Cop-L list, click the following link: &*TICKET_URL(CA-Cop-L,SIGNOFF);
