Welcome to the 5th World Congress on Conservation Agriculture (WCCA) incorporating the 3rd Farming Systems Design (FSD) Conference (www.wcca2011.org), 26-29 September, Brisbane, Australia
The co-location of WCCA and FSD brings a great opportunity to discuss the design of more sustainable and resilient food production systems in face of global change.

After 3 days of discussing that conservation agriculture principles and practices need to be considered within local resource and socio-economic realities, we were all surprised at the lack of understanding by an FAO representative who asked for a stop to research and the streamlining of CA world wide. The only thing we need to streamline is more research, more data collections, and the development of more evidence based recommendations.
