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.
