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.
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].
Hope you have a fruitful season ahead.
Warm Regards
Joel
