Farmers in Brazil are not fully understanding or implementing conservation agriculture practices, leading to soil erosion. A study in Paraná found that many farmers do not grasp the principles of conservation agriculture, despite using no-tillage methods for years. They also struggle with low crop diversification and face issues like soil compaction and weed resistance. This lack of knowledge and improper practices, such as driving sprayers across terraces, are harming soil and water conservation efforts, putting agricultural sustainability at risk.
