Conservation Agriculture for Sustainable Agriculture

The paper is centered on the concept of conservation agriculture (CA), which defined as a sustainable cultivation system for future. Conservation (CA) farming that promotes minimal soil disturbance, permanent cover, and crop rotations to maintain health productivity. This approach focuses maximizing natural resources, reducing inputs, improving efficiency nutrient use. CA practices have been found reduce erosion, conserve water, increase organic matter, leading improved yields reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In addition agricultural productivity, can also contribute broader development goals, including poverty reduction, food security, biodiversity conservation. However, adoption requires shift in mindset significant investment equipment, training, research. started 1930 it didn’t gain popularity till 1950. But from 1950 1990, there was very little rise- practiced only 2-million-hectare land. From 1990 2015, almost 180- million-hectare land with 10-million hectare annually around world. places where most Brazil, next America followed by Australia. India, at 3-million-hectare different forms. Various types machinery techniques are used such zero tillage, diversification intensification, multi tillage plant, mechanical transplanter, happy seeder laser leveler. use has several benefits, health, increased yields, labor input costs. equipment may be limitations some regions due conditions types. promoting technologies still faces challenges lack appropriate seeders small-scale farmers, competition between livestock feeding residues, burning shortage skilled manpower, overcoming traditional about tillage. Drawback Limited adoption, limited knowledge skills, dependence herbicide initial costs so on.
