Résumé : | Conservation agriculture (CA) identified by the practice of minimum soil disturbance, diversified crop rotations, and maintenance of organic soil cover reinforces ecosystems services through a number of interrelated pathways. The production of food in CA reinforces the provision ecosystem services. The regulatory services such as carbon sequestration, climate regulation, and control of soil erosion are reinforced through minimum tillage and inclusion of trees in CA. Support services through nutrient recycling, soil formation habitat provision derived from crop rotation, minimum soil disturbance, and plant residue retention. Despite some challenges associated with CA, when done correctly, CA could ensure current food security and nutrition for all without compromising the economic, social, and environmental bases for future generations. |
