*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).

Dear All,



CA and Climate Change has been a hot topic in  our research Agenda and
having LT trials to proof how the systems respond under drought conditions

has been a major benefit of our work – smart Investment in medium to LT
trials will pay off over time.


The current study is a collaboration with the University of Leeds.


The attached paper published in Agriculture, Ecosystem and Environment is
entitled: *Conservation agriculture enhances resistance of maize to climate
stress in a Malawian medium-term trial* by Peter R. Steward,⁎, Christian
Thierfelder, Andrew J. Dougill, Ivy Ligowe.



I hope you will find this useful in your future work…



All the best,

Chrstian
