With growing scientific concern around the limitations of tillage-based agriculture, coupled with the sector's need to contribute to being more sustainable, the development and adoption of alternative farming techniques has never been more important. Conservation Agriculture (CA) is emerging as a key alternative. The foundations of CA are built upon the use of no-till techniques and the use of rotations and cover crops to optimise different aspects of soil and crop health and resilience.

Advances in Conservation Agriculture Volume 3: Adoption and Spread provides an authoritative review from an array of international experts on the adoption of CA principles in different regions around the world. The final volume in this collection reviews the effectiveness of CA in differing contexts (e.g. in drier conditions where water conservation is important or in areas with poor soil) and refers to the wealth of research and experiential evidence currently available.

Edited by Professor Amir Kassam, University of Reading, UK, Advances in Conservation Agriculture Volume 3: Adoption and Spread will be a standard reference for those interested in adopting CA principles, including crop scientists researching low-input and organic agriculture, soil scientists, national organisations responsible for improving agricultural practices and sustainability, as well as farmers.
