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.

Crop rotation is a beneficial practice that can help reduce the cycle of pests, and spread risk and workload on farms. However annual cropping systems, no matter how diverse, do not develop the deep rooting systems of a native prairie. Learn more about the benefits of perennial crops from South Dakota State University.
