Australia hosts the 5th World Congress of Conservation Agriculture and 3rd Farming Systems Design Conference in Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Center at Queensland, Australia on 30 September 2011. The co-location of WCCA and FSD provides a great opportunity to explore the application of conservation agriculture practices and principles in a systems context. The common objective is the design of more productive, economic, and sustainable farming systems to meet the challenges of expanding population, global change, and environmental degradation.
