Conservation agriculture practices in combination with livestock keeping are generally considered a bad marriage. The Conservation Agriculture for crop-livestock systems (CLCA) project has found that it is possible to apply conservation agriculture principles into mixed crop-livestock systems.
The CLCA South-South Knowledge Exchange Webinars, taking place from 31 March to 19 May 2022 bring together researchers and practitioners to share and document learnings from Africa and Latin America.

The project “Use of Conservation Agriculture in Crop-Livestock Systems (CLCA) in the Drylands for Enhanced Water Use and Soil Fertility in NEN and LAC Countries” has been designed to combine an adaptive research program, including integrated capacity development, with the active development of a delivery mechanism for CLCA systems to serve as impact accelerators in both targeted regions.
The project is led by the International Center for Agriculture Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) in collaboration with The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) and local partners in North-Africa and Latin America.
