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: Sarah Hill, Cover Crop Strategies <[log in to unmask]> Date: Sun, 5 Apr 2020 at 23:01 Subject: [Podcast] Make More Green with Covers by Planting Green To: <[log in to unmask]> Hello Amir, The next episode of the *Cover Crop Strategies* Podcast is now available.
