The Importance of the Conservation Agriculture for Turkey

Conservation agriculture (CA) is concerned with profitableness and sustainability by optimizing agriculturalprocedures while conserving input and minimizing any impact on natural resources. Technologies that benefit theenvironment can often have negative effect on crop productivity and offer short-term profitability. CA is one of fewpractices that can enhance yield, economic returns, and food security while conserving the natural resources. Theprinciples of the CA are zero-tillage, permanent soil cover and programing crop rotation or diversification in annualcrops. However, CA practices have direct influence on climate regulation through carbon sequestration and lessgreenhouse gas emissions, and on regulation and provision of water through soil physical, chemical and biologicalproperties. For the last couple of decades the degradation caused by agricultural activities increased linearly as aresult of unsustainable intensification of agricultural production in Turkey. For this reason, it is necessary to applythe techniques which will protect both land and optimum production in the whole country. The aim of this researchis emphasize the importance of the conservation farming in Turkey. In addition, measures and national strategiesfor the spread of CA throughout the country have been discussed in detail.
