Below are four articles we recently published based on a large survey of 2296 wheat fields from Morocco. In these papers, we demonstrate that adoption of the individual and different combinations of two or three of the CA components leads to higher yield and net margins. With the exception of few combinations, adoption also leads to lower downside risk and variability of yield in the drylands. 1) Can an incremental approach be a better option in the dissemination of conservation agriculture? Some socioeconomic justifications from the drylands of Morocco <https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167198721001379> 2) Socio-economic impacts of zero and reduced tillage in wheat fields of the Moroccan drylands <https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/agec.12640?af=R> 3) Can Retention of Crop Residues on the Field Be Justified on Socioeconomic Grounds? A Case Study from the Mixed Crop-Livestock Production Systems of the Moroccan Drylands <https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4395/11/8/1465> 4) *Legume-based rotations have clear economic advantages over cereal monocropping in dry areas <https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13593-019-0602-2>* We will appreciate it if you can please share it with the community of practice.
