Conservation Agriculture
Conservation Agriculture (CA) is a farming approach that fosters natural ecological processes to increase agricultural productivity and sustainability, based on the practical application of three interlinked principles of: minimizing mechanical soil disturbance (e.g. no-till seeding); maintaining permanent vegetative soil surface cover (e.g. stubble or cover crops); and diversifying of cropping systems (e.g. crop associations or crop rotations).
