*Global CA-CoP* *CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE* *for sustainable agriculture and land management* Dear Subscribers, Please see herebelow the links to the 8th Newsletter from the 4 per 1000 initiative. Apologies for any cross-posting. *Amir Kassam * *Moderator* *Global CA-CoP* e-mail: [log in to unmask] URL: http://www.fao.org/conservation-agriculture *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* (more at: http://www.fao.org/conservation-agriculture). ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2020 at 11:28 Subject: [mailinglist1_newsletter] "4 per 1000" Newsletter #8 (ENG, FR, ESP) To: <[log in to unmask]> Cc: <[log in to unmask]>, Bernard Marc <[log in to unmask]>, Brigitte Cabantous <[log in to unmask]>, Frederique Lescent < [log in to unmask]>, <[log in to unmask]>, < [log in to unmask]>, <[log in to unmask]>, Beverley Henry <[log in to unmask]>, Budiman Minasny < [log in to unmask]>, <[log in to unmask]>, < [log in to unmask]>, <[log in to unmask]>, Jagdish Ladha <[log in to unmask]>, Jean-Francois Soussana < [log in to unmask]>, Wollenberg, Lini (UVM) < [log in to unmask]>, Lydie-Stella Koutika <[log in to unmask]>, Rosa POCH <[log in to unmask]>, Saïdou Sall <[log in to unmask]>, <[log in to unmask]>, Brahim SOUDI <[log in to unmask]>, David WHITEHEAD < [log in to unmask]>, Luca MONTANARELLA < [log in to unmask]>, Magaly GARCIA-CARDENAS <[log in to unmask]>, Martin KAONGA <[log in to unmask]>, Pete SMITH <[log in to unmask]>, Charlotte PERSAN <[log in to unmask]>, Ibrahim MAYAKI < [log in to unmask]>, Jessica ANNOR <[log in to unmask]>, Stéphane LE FOLL <[log in to unmask]> Dear Partners and Members, I hope that you and your loved ones are safe during this critical period of time.
