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: waswac <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sat, Aug 25, 2018 at 3:18 PM Subject: WASWAC Hot News To: <[log in to unmask]> Dear WASWAC members, Attached please find the Hot News for the issue 06 of 2018.
