On a continent where over 60% of the population subsists on agriculture, the significance of proper land management cannot be overstated. With the fast evolving wave of climate change and land degradation, adoption of practices that ensure sustenance of healthy farmland is the only way forward. This is where Conservation Agriculture (CA) technologies offer the “options” that standout above all good sustainable agricultural practices, nevertheless, based on soil tillage. CA essentially aims at encouraging adoption of cultural practices that enhance sustainable food production systems. Attention towards climate-smart farming has become of particular relevance to Sub-Saharan Africa where nearly all indications of massive environmental disasters have been witnessed.

Generally, the objective of this course is to contribute and build the desired capacity and ability of farmers, agricultural research & extension staff from NGOs, Government institutions and private sector in the development and promotion of CA technologies, thereby enhancing their ability to respond to current farming challenges and farmers' needs.
