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 complementary
good agricultural production and land management practices to generate and sustain
optimum performance. Conservation Agriculture systems are present in all
continents.
