Could conservation agriculture help mitigate climate change? | CGIAR Research Program on MAIZE

Could conservation agriculture help mitigate climate change? In the densely populated areas of South Asia on the Indo-Gangetic plains (IGP) and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), climate change threatens to pose an enormous risk to food security.

CGIAR Climate's insight:

CCAFS is examining and comparing different Conservation Agriculture (CA) practices around the world. This story features a study that seeks to find out whether Conservation Agriculture delivers climate change mitigation through soil carbon sequestration in tropical agro-ecosystems.
