*Global CA-CoP* *CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE* *for sustainable agriculture and land management* Dear Subscribers, Please see herebelow an announcement about the No-Till Conference is to be held from 3-5 September organized by the No-Till Club of Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. Thank you Sandra for sharing. *Amir Kassam * *Moderator* *Global CA-CoP* e-mail: [log in to unmask] URL: http://www.fao.org/conservation-agriculture *Conservation Agriculture is an ecosystem approach to regenerative sustainable agriculture and land management based on the practical application of context-specific and 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 mulch cover (crop biomass, stubble and cover crops); and (iii) diversification of cropping system (economically, environmentally and socially adapted rotations and/or sequences and/or associations involving annuals and/or 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, pasture and rangeland systems, organic production systems and rice-based systems. Conservation Tillage, Reduced Tillage and Minimum Tillage are not Conservation Agriculture, and nor is No-Till on its own* (more at: http://www.fao.org/conservation-agriculture). ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Sandra Findlay <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sat, 6 Jul 2019 at 15:45 Subject: FW: 2019 No-Till Conference - Bewaringslandboukonferensie To: Sandra Findlay <[log in to unmask]> *2019 * *NO-TILL CONFERENCE | BEWARINGSLANDBOUKONFERENSIE* *This year’s No-Till Conference is to be held from 3-5 September.* *All the details are to be found in the programme attached.* Ø To ensure your place for this exciting and informative conference, please register EARLY.
