Summary: This publication is a report of a Workshop that brought together people from a wide range of institutions - farmers, researchers, extensionists, policymakers, donors - from 40 countries who share a common concern about the non-sustainability of ways in which farmland is now being used and who are convinced that this must change. The Workshop focused on the growing evidence of success in the adoption and spread of Conservation Agriculture (CA) in developing countries. CA-based approaches to sustainable production intensification are highly relevant to the global response to rising food and energy prices, increasing soil and environmental degradation, pervasive rural poverty, climate change, and increasing water scarcity. The accompanying CD-ROM contains all the workshop presentations.
