The Organizing Committee invites you with great pleasure to the 8th World Congress on Conservation Agriculture (8WCCA), which will be held in Zollikofen, Bern, Switzerland from 21 – 24 June 2021. The theme of the Congress is: Profitable and Sustainable Farming with Conservation Agriculture.

The 8th World Congress on Conservation Agriculture provides you with the unique opportunity to shape the future of “Profitable and Sustainable Farming with Conservation Agriculture”. Conservation Agriculture (CA) is acknowledged to be a sustainable system of agricultural intensification which improves soil health and thus, will be a key element to ensure the production of food and other agricultural products, while providing additional ecosystem services, even under the threatening scenarios involving the consequences of climate change and larger world population. During the three days of the Congress, manifold topics will be discussed in depth in plenary sessions, panel discussions, parallel sessions and poster sessions, with the objective to promote a wider adoption of CA worldwide.
