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.

"First Global Soil Biodiversity Assessment: From Science to Policy" Part 1

Moderated by Richard D. Bardgett

Thursday, November 12, 2020, 8am-9:30am MT;
4pm-5:30pm CET, 10pm-11:30pm CST

Scientists involved in writing the UN-FAO Report, “State of Knowledge of Soil Biodiversity: Status, Challenges, and Potentialities” will present their views on why they volunteered to be a contributor, why they think it is important to contribute scientific knowledge to policy, and their thoughts on the importance of this report for the future of research and policy. On December 4, 2020, the Report will be launched in conjunction with World Soil Day (5 December 2020). The Report was called for by the UN Convention on Biological Diversity and was coordinated by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and their partners: the Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Global Soil Partnership, the European Commission, and the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative.
Register in advance for this webinar:

We look forward to seeing you!
