An overview of findings from the CEPHaS Project on the impact of Conservation Agriculture (CA) practices – minimum till, mulching and crop rotation – on the physical properties of the soil and changes to the water cycle in the farmed landscape.
The CEPHaS project is a network of researchers - soil physicists, geophysicists, hydrogeologists, agronomy and farm system specialists, statisticians and social scientists - who have been working at field experiments in Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi to understand the benefits of CA.
Conference Programme and Abstracts
Day 1 Theme: CA Impacts on soil functions and crop yield
Day 2 Theme: Soil properties and soil information
Day 3 Theme: Monitoring water in soil, crop and aquifer and capacity strengthening
CEPHaS is funded by Research Councils UK through its Global Challenges Research Fund programme.
