The European Conservation Agriculture Federation (ECAF) brings together fifteen national associations which promote among Europe's farmers the soil management "best practice" aspects of conservation agriculture. With member associations in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, ECAF represents the interests of the majority of the European Union's cropped farmland.
ECAF was constituted in Brussels on 14th January 1999, as a non-profit making association, subjected to the Belgium laws. It was conceived to encourage any issue focused on maintaining the agrarian soil and its biodiversity in the context of sustainable agriculture. ECAF is not involved in any commercial product, equipment and/ or trademark.
ECAF Objectives
At national level ECAF's member organisations aim to:
improve technology transfer to farms;
promote agricultural and environmental policies supportive of sustainable soil management; improve information exchange in the research, policy and practitioner communities; and research, develop, evaluate and promote soil management systems to improve crop production and protection of the environment.
