L'agriculture de conservation (CA) est une approche de la gestion des agro-écosystèmes pour améliorer la productivité et durabilité, augmenter les profits et la sécurité alimentaire tout en préservant et en améliorant les ressources et l'environnement. Les trois principes fondamentaux de CA sont: • la plantation directe de semences de cultures; • la couverture permanente du sol; et • la diversité des cultures (Voir: Introduction à l'agriculture de conservation (ses principes et avantages) pour plus de détails). Le semis direct consiste à favoriser la croissance d'une nouvelle culture sans préparation du lit de semence mécanique et avec une perturbation minimale du sol depuis la récolte de la culture précédente. Le terme "semis direct " est ici entendu comme synonyme de culture sans labour,culture sans travail du sol.
