Global CA-CoP CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE
for sustainable agriculture and land management
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

Tuesday 04 February 2020
2:00 – 3:00 PM (Rome Time – CET)
Join us online
Please connect 10 minutes before the webinar starts to ensure the audio works properly.
The webinar will address the evolution and challenges of promoting Conservation Agriculture (CA) in Argentina and Peru. Argentina is known as one of the pioneer countries for adoption of CA. However, Peru is the country with the least area under CA in Latin America. Additionally, this webinar will demonstrate the impact of replacing crop residue burning and tillage-based agriculture with CA.
Speaker: Juliana Albertengo holds an MSc in Agronomy and is a Conservation Agriculture expert. Juliana is Argentinian and is currently managing a CA project in Peru founded by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC). She has carried out consultancies for FAO, Solidaridad, IFC, Coca-Cola, and International Cryosphere Climate Initiative (ICCI), among others.
