Description
The adoption of no-till farming marked a significant change in Argentina's agriculture, addressing severe soil erosion that jeopardized the industry's viability. As a result, agricultural production has increased significantly, with most farms now utilizing no-till practices. The paper highlights the evolution from focusing solely on technology adoption to incorporating Conservation Agriculture (CA) and Sustainable Land Management (SLM) concepts. These developments have led to a more economically and environmentally sustainable agricultural sector in Argentina compared to previous practices.
