Abstract
Conservation agriculture, a system of reduced tillage, cover cropping, and intercropping, holds potential as a sustainable, resilient method of increasing yields while improving soil conditions. These proceedings Proceedings from the 3rd International Conference on Conservation Agriculture in Southeast Asia held in Hanoi, Vietnam, 10th-15th December 2012 offer an overview of conservation agriculture in Southeast Asia. Main topics addressed in this volume include (1) Agrarian transitions in the Southeast Asian uplands and highlands; (2) Impacts of agricultural systems on agricultural ecosystem sustainability; (3) Farming and cropping system design to sustainably intensify production; (4) Synergizing concepts of CA and Agroforestry; (5) Potentials and constraints of CA for rural development, and (6) Conditions, strategies, barriers and opportunities for scaling-up CA.
