Conservation Agriculture

For the scientific community, conventional agriculture causes environmental damage as a result of the intensive use of agrochemicals and intensive agricultural mechanization. Conventional production management tends to exhaust natural resources, with biological, physical and chemical degradation of soils. On the other hand, the conservation agriculture is the most important alternative for the preservation of natural resources, creating systems of conservation production, described in the literature as agroecossystem. The key purpose of the conservation agriculture is to produce food and preserve the environment.
