*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. *

contribution pour un inventaire des labels et certifications liés au
carbone organique du sol
To: <[log in to unmask]>


Dear Members and Partners,

We are pleased to announce that as part of our « 4 per 1000 » Strategic
Plan, CIRAD (Centre for International Cooperation in Agricultural Research
for Development) is working on an *inventory of the labels offering
recognition or certification of soil carbon sequestration*.

First objective is to reference existing labels and certifications related
to soil organic carbon. An analysis of these labels will then be conducted.
Your contributions to reference such labels and certifications would be
most welcome, especially if they are regional or value-chain specific.

*This work will be carried out over the next two months, until August 7.
Please note that the time period is very short and share soon your
experience to [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> and

of the « 4 per 1000 » Initiative*. The project is now located under the «
Actions » tab.
