THEMES

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.

Climate Resilient Systems
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.

Innovations in 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.

WHY ATTEND?

Conservation Agriculture practitioners, researchers, policy makers and others will attend the 6th WCCA to:
 

• talk to CA leaders, including producers, advisors, researchers, policy makers and industry
• network with peers from around the world
• engage in policy discussion
• learn latest research.
