Abstract
The adoption of Conservation Agriculture (CA) in Europe varies according to the ecological regions of the continent. Although Europe is behind other countries in adoption of CA, the indicators for future progress are encouraging. The area where CA is applied is growing rapidly because of increasing environmental awareness, including soil protection, and because of the need to reduce production costs. The European Conservation Agriculture Federation (ECAF) plays an important role in the adoption and dissemination of CA practices, and in discussions involving CA and the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform.Yield performance and stability, operating costs, environmental policies and programs of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), and climate change will likely be the major driving forces defining the direction and for the extension of CA in Europe. The role of agriculture in climate change mitigation in the EU is discussed in the paper.
