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.
