Conservation Agriculture systems are present in all continents, involving rainfed and irrigated systems, including annual cropland systems, perennial systems, orchards and plantation systems, agroforestry systems, crop-livestock systems, organic production systems and rice-based systems *(more at: www.fao.org/ag/ca). ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sandra Findlay <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, Jul 30, 2018 at 9:05 AM Subject: FW: Reminder about No-Till Conference 2018 -- Ons herinder U To: Sandra Findlay <[log in to unmask]> If you have already registered we thank you ----- As U al ingesruif het ons sĂȘ dankie Good Day, Goeie Dag The interest in 2018 No-Till Conference taking place from 4 to 6 September is *Growing !* Click on http link below Die belangstelling in die 2018 Bewaaringslamdboukonferensie wat plaas vind van 4 tot 6 September *Groei* !
