Conservation Agriculture
Comprises three basic components
Surface crop residue retention
Minimal soil movement
Crop rotation

Conservation Agriculture is a complex technology: it involves a
complete change in the agricultural system.

Soil quality, not just a word but a conceptual framework

Soil quality
Variety of definitions
Doran and Parkin (1994)“it is the capacity of a soil to be functional, within the limits imposed by the ecosystem and land use, to preserve the biological productivity and environmental quality, and promote plant, animal and human health”
Larson and Pierce (1994) “fitness for use”
![Page 29: The effects of conservation agriculture on crop performance, soil quality and potential c emission reduction and c sequestration in contrasting environments.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062301/56649e495503460f94b3d16c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Selection Soil Parameters
Limiting factor set: comparison of optimal conditions for land use and field conditionsIdeal conditions for land use versus real conditions
Measuring possible critical indicators linked with the limiting factors

The hub concept benchmark sites for research on the impacts of
CA
focal point for regional (agro-ecological) capacity-building and scaling out of research and innovation systems
regional CA networks are established to facilitate and foment research and extension of CA innovation systems and technologies
example of the functionality of CA systems

structure to work together with partners including farmers
to test various best-bet technology options with farmers
to integrate these options to improve farm level economics and family well-being
to provide a demonstration platform to extend these technologies to surrounding farmers
to provide a training/demonstration platform to bring together all actors from other areas with similar production systems and conditions
to provide a platform to do relevant research

Literature review
Govaerts et al., submitted
West and Post (2002), Jarecki and Lal (2003), VandenBygaart et al. (2003), Blanco-Canqui and Lal (2008) + Literature search (Web of Science)
Only >5y and minimum 30cm
Very little research in Africa, Central- Latin- America, Asia

Literature review
Conventional till Zero tillage
8/62 cases C stock decreased
21/62 cases C stock not significant different
33/62 case C stock increased
Increased rotation
22/55 cases C stock decreased
5/55 cases C stock not significant different
28/55 cases C stock increased

Conclusions
Not always increase in C stock
Why? Not clear
Underlying processes seem not fully understood
Need for an international network of hubs linked to strategic research sites
Even if CA does not lead always to C stock increase it is still the best practice to promote
