Dear Subscribers,

The 8th World Congress on Conservation Agriculture (8WCCA) (
https://8wcca.org/) will be held during 21-24 June 2021 in Zollikofen/Bern,
Switzerland. In preparation towards the 8WCCA, FAO and the European
Conservation Agriculture Federation (ECAF) are organizing a series of
online webinars and regional discussions to increase awareness of the
concepts and practices for Conservation Agriculture (CA).

Conservation Agriculture is a farming system that promotes continuous no or
minimum soil disturbance (i.e. no tillage), maintenance of a permanent soil
vegetative cover, and diversification of plant species. It enhances
biodiversity and natural biological processes above and below the ground
surface, which contribute to increased water and nutrient use efficiency
and to improved and sustained crop production.

main topic of the 8WCCA.

future of farming. *


*It will be held on Thursday 8 October 2020 14:00-15:00 hrs (Rome Time –

The seminar will be presented by Professor Gottlieb Basch, President of the
European Conservation Agriculture Federation (ECAF).
