Solutions are needed to restore soil functions and to achieve food security. We hope that capacity developed through CEPHaS will contribute to this.

The latest document in the CEPHaS Perspectives on Conservation Agriculture series is from Mr Jerry Dlamini at UFS in South Africa, where he studies cropping practices and impact on greenhouse gas emissions, in collaboration with Rothamsted Research www2.bgs.ac.uk/CEPHaS/docs/CE…

Please join us for our free sessions on: Understanding Conservation Agriculture Day 1: CA impacts on soil functions and crop yield Day 2: Soil properties and soil information Day 3: Monitoring water in soil, crop and aquifer and capacity strengthening

At CEPHaS-Soil, Water and Conservation Agriculture we believe in sound research ethics where all participants willingly consent to take part and also have their photographs taken. All pictures posted are therefore rightfully authorised by the owners. Luanar

It's not karate. Thats actually driving an auger down to collect a sample at 90 cm down from a CA field, for carbon assessments. CEPHaS-Soil, Water and Conservation Agriculture, Luanar and DARS at Nthyolo_Masambanjati.

Greetings for #internationalsoilday from the CEPHaS project. Continued team efforts in a national-scale survey of Malawian soils under conventional or conservation management. What are CA impacts on soil physical properties and carbon stocks? Photo from Inno Sandram Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF)

The CEPHaS-Soil, Water and Conservation Agriculture project has been using electrtical resisitvity tomography (ERT) to understand if it could help combat the factors affecting food security in southern Africa. bgs.ac.uk/news/can-geoph… #WorldSoilDay

Join us tomorrow morning for the 2nd day of the CEPHAS conference, our theme will be: Soil properties and soil information

A step towards building knowledge.. collecting undisturbed soil samples.. CEPHaS-Soil, Water and Conservation Agriculture Luanar

A soil sampling visit ends with CA advisory meeting.. observers asked a lot of questions and we demonstrated more. Thumbs up Ethel and qxabaniso soko !! BTW, men were shy for a photo..😃 CEPHaS-Soil, Water and Conservation Agriculture Luanar

Russell Swift presents some results from application of electrical resistivity tomography in the CEPHaS project to examine water movement under conventionally-managed plots and those under conservation agriculture. Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF)

Looking forward to sharing some of our results from the hydrogeological investigations that are part of the CEPHaS-Soil, Water and Conservation Agriculture project at #AGU21 session - H54C: Tackling Water Security in Africa: Adaptive Water Management Under a Changing Water Cycle I Oral 14:40 CT or 22:40 CAT!
