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.

Subject: [mailinglist2_forum] Call to contribution for an inventory of labels and certifications related to Soil Organic Carbon / Appel à 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] and [log in to unmask] .

You are also welcome to contribute directly on the collaborative platform of the « 4 per 1000 » Initiative. The project is now located under the « Actions » tab.

If you experience difficulties to connect to the platform, do not hesitate to contact [log in to unmask]

Wishing you all the best,

Chers Membres et Partenaires,

Nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer que dans le cadre du Plan Stratégique de l’Initiative « 4 pour 1000 », le CIRAD (Centre de coopération internationale en recherche agronomique pour le développement) réalise un inventaire des labels et schémas de certification relatifs au carbone du sol.

Les objectifs sont de recenser les labels et certifications abordant le carbone du sol, puis d’en proposer une analyse. Vos contributions pour référencer ces labels et certifications sont les bienvenues, en particulier si elles sont spécifiques à une région ou une chaîne de valeur.

Ce travail sera effectué au cours des deux prochains mois, jusqu'au 7 août. La période de temps étant courte, merci de partager rapidement votre expérience à [log in to unmask] et [log in to unmask] .

Vous pouvez également contribuer directement sur la plateforme collaborative de l'Initiative " 4 pour 1000 ". Le projet se trouve maintenant dans l'onglet " Actions ".
