1. Overcoming climate challenges

2. What is conservation farming?
Conservation farming is a system of methods which reduce cultivation and aims to maintain and improve soil and water quality
The purpose of conservation farming is to reduce runoff and erosion. This can be achieved by reducing cultivation and maintaining soil surface cover. This is having plants on the surface of the ground

3. Examples of conservation farming
No-tillage
Agro-forestry
Trap cropping
Cover and green manure
Cropping
Alley cropping
Contour farming & strip cropping
Organic and biodynamic farming
Stubble mulching
Integrated pest management

4. Benefits Of Conservation Farming
Reduced erosion and improved soil structure
Improved infiltration and moisture efficiency
Improved soil health and nutrient retention
Lower soil temperatures and better establishment
Increased planting opportunities and flexibility
Lower machinery, labour and maintenance costs
More reliable yields

5. Water storage

6. Water Storage Water restrictions may be imposed to reduce water use
Dam and bores store water to make it available for during droughts

7. Fodder conservation

8. Fodder Conservation
Fodder conservation involves storing hay, grain and silage for times when pastures are not enough for sheep and cattle.
