Conservation Agriculture is an ecosystem approach to sustainable agriculture and land management based on the practical application of locally adapted three interlinked principles of: (i) Continuous no or minimum mechanical soil disturbance (no-till seeding/planting and weeding, and minimum soil disturbance with all other farm operations including harvesting); (ii) permanent maintenance of soil much cover (crop biomass, stubble and cover crops); and (iii) diversification of cropping system (environmentally, environmentally and socially adapted rotations and/or sequences and/or associations involving annuals and perennials, including legumes and cover crops), along with other complementary good agricultural production and land management practices (more at: www.fao.org/ag/ca).
You may consider sharing the following information among the CA Network. The award ceremony for the Medal of Honor was held in Santendor, Spain in the Magdalena Palace on 24th July.
I am attaching 3 photographs, which were taken by Mr. Esteban Cobo of UIMP -- Universidad Internacional Menendez Pelayo, Spain.
Additional information is available on the UIMP website.
