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: Julio Román <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2019 at 13:07 Subject: Abstrac submission and registration letter for 8WCCA To: Amir Kassam <[log in to unmask]> Dear Amir Attached is a letter informing about the registration process and abstract submission at the 8WCCA is now available on the website.
