Conservation agriculture is the dominant cropping system in Australia, yet many conservation agriculture practices are under threat. Accelerated evolution of farming systems is necessary to ensure that Australian farmers can continue to farm in a profitable, productive and sustainable fashion. This edition explores some of the drivers for change to current systems and forecasts what future systems may look like. Environmental, societal and practical challenges to current practice are driving a clear need for change.
