*Global CA-CoP* *CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE*

*for sustainable agriculture, land use and ecosystem management*

Dear Subscribers,

Please see herebelow an announcement for the 5th World Congress on
Agroforestry.

The principles of CA and CA Community's experience and expertise with
annual and perennial systems have much to contribute to improving the
sustainability of conventional tillage-based agroforestry as well as other
perennial systems including annual cropping with trees, farming with trees
and shrubs, plantations and orchards.

Apologies for any cross-posting.

*Conservation Agriculture (CA) 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.*



*CA systems are present in all continents, involving rainfed and irrigated
systems including annual cropland systems, perennial systems, orchards and
plantation systems, agroforestry systems, crop-livestock systems, pasture
and rangeland systems, organic production systems and rice-based systems.
CA systems operate regeneratively at multiple levels to optimally harness a
range of productivity, economic, environmental, and social benefits as well
as address local and global concerns related to food and water security,
climate change, land degradation, biodiversity and smallholder agricultural
development.*



*Conservation Tillage, Reduced Tillage, Low tillage and Minimum Tillage are
not CA, and nor is No-Till on its own. For a practice or a method to be
referred to as a CA practice or method, it must be part of a CA system. If
not, then it is what it is, a practice or a method similar to any other
with its own* *name e.g., no-till seeding, or mulching, or crop
diversification, etc* (more at: http://www.fao.org/conservation-agriculture

*Call for Abstracts*
*5th World Congress on Agroforestry 2022*



The call for abstracts to participate in the *5th World Congress on
Agroforestry 2022: Transitioning to a Viable World* is now open. You are
warmly invited to submit an abstract of recent research, development
project or innovative field work findings for either an oral or a poster
presentation. The conference will take place in Québec City, Canada, on
July 17-20, 2022. Virtual participation will also be possible.

Join farmers, researchers, advisors, policy makers, and representatives
from the government, the civil society and the private sector from all over
the world, and be part of an open and inclusive dialogue on emerging
research and good practices in agroforestry!

Acknowledging the importance of a fruitful exchange between traditional
knowledge and science, and giving special attention to farmers, women,
indigenous peoples and vulnerable populations, the scientific committee
welcomes contributions in a broad spectrum of agroforestry topics and
issues including:


• Transitioning to…
     - Healthy Soils
     - Better Water Balance and Light Valorization
     - Biodiversity
     - A Viable Climate
     - Food Security and Health
     - A Viable Economy
     - A Viable Society
     - A Viable Development
     - Viable Policies
• Which Agroforestry for…
     - Arid Climates?
     - Annual Crops?
     - Commercial Perennial Crops and Trees?
     - Integrating Livestock to Trees and Crops?
     - A Nourishing Forest?
• Agroforestry – an Essential Pillar of Agroecology

*Why submit an abstract?*


Oral and poster presentations are a great opportunity for participants to
present their work to an international audience, get inspired by the
scientific expertise and field experience of other participants, exchange
with a wide range of stakeholders and take part in the transition to a
viable world for and through agroforestry! It is a unique opportunity for
networking and discussing transdisciplinary challenges and solutions
related to the broad field of agroforestry.

On-site participants may choose to submit an abstract for an oral
presentation or a poster presented in the form of either a printed poster
displayed on-site or of a short video capsule. Virtual participants may
submit an abstract for a poster presented in the form of a short video
capsule only.

Once submitted, your abstract will be reviewed by the members of the
scientific committee, who will inform you as soon as possible whether or
not it has been accepted. Accepted abstracts will be collated in the Book
of Abstracts of the Congress available free of charge as a pdf document.
