3 - Recreating Living Soil
Conservation Agriculture is challeging farmers to produce in more integrated and ecological way by following Integrated pest management (IPM), Weed Management(IWM, Integrated Soild Fertility Management (ISFM) or Agro-forestry or organic agriculture.
The potential benefits of CA - reduction of soil erosion, more efficient use of inputs, important savings in labour, fossil energy and total costs, and increase in production - are impressive. It is being increasingly realised that integrating various farming systems on a given piece of land will make farming more sustainable, as one system feeds into the other.
