Conservation Agriculture

Definition of Conservation Agriculture as it relates to Environment, Soil Conservation

Conservation agriculture is an agricultural practice centered around preserving and enhancing the natural resource base, particularly soil health and biodiversity. It promotes minimal disturbance of the soil through reduced tillage or no-till farming, permanent soil cover using crop residues or cover crops, and diversified crop rotations to improve overall system resilience. By adopting these principles, conservation agriculture aims to foster a more sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural production model that helps mitigate climate change, reduce input costs, and increase yields over time.
