Research on Conservation Agriculture

Scholarly research on CA is the primary purpose, and the heart, of our site. Metadata for every article in our primary database is accessible to everyone through a RefShare platform, which you can reach here, or by clicking on the 'Full Research Database' tab to the left, or from the 'Full Research Database' tab found in the 'Research' drop-down menu above.

A note on using our RefShare database: For each entry you'll see a yellow star and a magnifying glass to the right. By clicking on the magnifying glass you'll be able to view full metadata (abstract, author affiliations, etc.) for those articles with which we currently have the metadata.

We also maintain a list of core literature useful for those wanting in-depth explanations of the fundamentals of CA; a list of best literature from recent months, as selected by member of the Conservation Agriculture Group here at Cornell; a list of selected research journals relevant to CA; a list of of recent/important works of grey literature; and finally, a list of some full-length reports covering CA. Links for all of these can be found both in the navigation column to the left, as well as in the 'Research' drop-down menu above.
