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. 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).

Farmers in a small area of southern Mexico knew that a variety of corn grown in the area was special. But a group of researchers believe the corn could ultimately transform the way the largest crop in America and the world is grown. The potential improvements in water and air quality not to mention financial savings are staggering.

There's a popular notion that the ancient Maya lived in total harmony with the land, leading a sustainable lifestyle that took only what they needed from the vast tropical forests surrounding them. But that's not really the case. The Maya deforested large swathes of land, cutting down trees in order to plant fields of corn, for firewood and for building their monumental temples. And it turns out in the intervening 1,100 years, the impact of that resource depletion can still be felt.

Gather a large group of farmers under one roof and throw in a cover crop bone. The divergence of opinion is marked, the passion of supporters is palpable and the discontent of skeptics is striking. Justified or illegitimate, discord over cover crops often reaches a level of rancor seldom matched by other facets of agriculture. Cover crop supporters are confronted with issues related to costs versus measurable returns, while skeptics are faced with pointed questions over soil health benefits and long-term gains.

The U.K. is lagging behind developing countries in the process of making agriculture more sustainable, according to a new global assessment. The research paper, published in the Nature Sustainability, shows that more than 163 million farms worldwide (29 percent) are incorporating some form of sustainable intensification on 453 million hectares of agricultural land. But it highlights that the U.K. is lagging behind other countries in terms of introducing more sustainable agricultural practices.

Every summer the U.S. Central Plains go dry, leading farmers to tap into groundwater to irrigate sorghum, soy, cotton, wheat and corn and maintain large herds of cattle and hogs. As the heat rises, anxious irrigators gather to discuss whether and how they should adopt more stringent conservation measures.

The Associated Press via U.S. News & World Report
Two Ohio lawmakers who criticized Gov. John Kasich's proposed farm regulations to combat Lake Erie's harmful algae blooms will lead a panel of legislators studying the lake's long-term health. The legislature's Republican leadership began setting up the panel after Kasich issued an executive order calling for a more aggressive approach to limit the farm fertilizer and manure that feeds persistent toxic algae blooms in Lake Erie.
