Conservation Agriculture is an ecological approach to regenerative sustainable agriculture and ecosystem 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). These practices are complemented with other good agricultural production and land management practices. Conservation Agriculture systems are present in all continents.

Dear Professor Kassam,

 

I hope that you are currently safe and well. I am writing to you as editor of a recent publication entitled ‘No-till Farming Systems for Sustainable Agriculture: Challenges and Opportunities’ edited by Yash Dang, Ram Dalal and Neal Menzies. This book has recently been released by Springer Nature  and provides a comprehensive summary of current global research on no-till farming, and its benefits and challenges from various agronomic, environmental, social and economic perspectives (https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030464080). 

 

I have attached a flyer that provides further information on the publication and from where you can obtain a copy with a special discount offer. Could you please circulate this information in your newsletters, or send it to any members who you think may benefit. Thanks in advance.

 

Kind regards,
