Abstract

On steep slopes in developing countries like Nepal and Ecuador, smallholder farmers rely heavily on agriculture for their livelihoods. Increasing erosion, decreasing rainfall, and climbing global temperatures threaten near-term food security; conservation agriculture can help. A new special issue of Agronomy Journal gathered insights from around the world, highlighting the role of conservation agriculture in combating today’s food security threats.
