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.

Hi All, 

I hope you are keeping well.

I'll be taking part in an online conference with many other great speakers over the next 2 weeks should any of you be seeking some extra curricular learning in your down time or while in the cab. 

The Living Soils Symposium will [virtually] be featuring a few sessions per day from April 27 to May 8. 

This Tuesday 28th April at 4pm EST I'll be giving a webinar on the emerging paradigm of soil organic matter formation and strategies for building SOM [Note: that's 9pm for UK/IE, 10/11pm for EU or 6am on the 29th for Australian EST].
