Revolutionizing Agriculture: No-Till Farming Boosts Productivity and Resilience
Reducing tillage and increasing soil cover can improve soil health. Conservation tillage like no-till or strip-till, along with practices such as conservation crop rotations and cover crops, can boost agricultural productivity, drought resilience, and environmental outcomes. Field data shows that using no-till or strip-till for multiple years enhances soil health. Adoption rates for practices like cover crops and double cropping alongside no-till/strip-till are estimated to show how they work together to benefit soil health.
