6th World Congress on Conservation Agriculture
SOIL HEALTH and WALLET WEALTH
Attend the 6th World Congress on Conservation Agriculture (WCCA) to learn, discuss and network about Soil Health and Wallet Wealth. Agricultural production systems are not sustainable unless they are profitable, and Conservation Agriculture (CA) holds the key to building and maintaining healthy soils and profitable farming systems.
REGISTER today.
See the WCCA announcement.
THEMES
Conservation Agriculture and Sustainable Intensification
As world population grows, the demand for food, fuel and fiber will grow. CA will allow producers to intensify their cropping systems to increase production sustainably without undue expansion in land area devoted to agriculture.
Conservation Agriculture and Climate Change
A well-designed CA system contains a diversity of crop types and healthy soils that give producers more options for adjusting to changes in rainfall patterns or growing-season temperatures while also contributing to climate change mitigation.
Conservation Agriculture and Innovative Adoption
The best teacher of interconnected farming practices is someone who has successfully mastered them. Innovative CA practitioners, researchers and service providers will share their experience and knowledge.
