This booklet presents the current knowledge and experiences of Conservation Agriculture in Europe along with a general guide to the practical implementation of its methods across the range of European cropping systems.  Implications for biodiversity are also considered.  It provides a balanced view of the advantages and limitations of the technology, primarily for those concerned with advising on and formulating European policies on environmental protection and agricultural support mechanisms. 

On 29 July 2006, the booklet was launched in Brussels, with the opening address given by Mr Mike Hammell, Head of Unit for Agriculture, Forest and Soils, DG Environment of the European Commission. Click HERE to view the Launch Presentation.

The production of the booklet was jointly funded by EU-LIFE Environment and Syngenta.
