. Climate change adaptability and mitigation with Conservation Agriculture
The status quo of agriculture based on soil tillage is unacceptable from a climate point
of view. To reverse agriculture’s field performance from that of a net GHG emitter to
a GHG mitigator requires a new paradigm. CA is a holistic agricultural system that is able to mitigate and adapt to climate
change. The three interlinked principles of CA enable the system to deliver many benefits
in terms of carbon sequestration and climate adaptation, especially with regards
to soil, water, nutrient, and energy management
