Dear All CA Leaders,

 

I am pleased to inform you that the 2nd Conference on Conservation Agriculture for Smallholders (CASH-II) held at Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh during 14-16 February, 2017 was great successful.

 

The focus of the conference was to bring together practitioners currently working towards the development and uptake of Conservation Agriculture (CA) for smallholders. This conference will serve as a platform to present the current status of CA for smallholders, establish linkages among the collaborators and to chart a course for future developments that can help farmers to find CA an attractive option.  The conference was a platform to share success stories, identify barriers to development of CA and identify the key strategies that facilitate the adoption of CA.  The conference had 4 main themes:

1.            Design and development of machinery, implements, and tools

2.            Soils, water and weed management and agronomy

3.            Commercialization and adoption of CA-based technologies and practices

4.            Policy and institutional framework

 

During the conference the themes were addressed by 4 keynote presentations, 26 oral and 25 poster presentations. Also, we have finalized the CA Policy Briefing Paper and Mymensingh Declaration for Conservation Agriculture (also attached herewith). I would rather welcome all of you to distribute the Conference Proceedings widely.

 

If you have further query, please let me know.

 

 

 

Kind regards,

 

Enam
