17. Up-dating Conservation Agriculture Database
in AquaStat, FAO.
The CA land
area database is updated periodically based on the feedback received from our
regular sources of information. These include: official government sources,
no-till associations, NGOs, national and international research institutes, and
informed individuals. The information is posted in AquaStat. The latest figures
(update 2013) can be seen at the FAO CA-Website at (http://www.fao.org/ag/ca/6c.html).
