Conservation agriculture , another framework for achieving CRD, is based on three synergistic principles:  soil management to reduce soil physical disturbance and reduce its degradation,  crop management such as residue management to protect the soil top layers and  genetic management to increase agricultural systems' biodiversity and therefore their resilience . In the cereal systems of the Indo-Gangetic Plains, India, CA has increased crop yields, returns from crop cultivation and input-use efficiency, in spite of heat stress, while reducing GHGs emissions . However, challenges with CA are also documented in the scientific literature. For example, an evaluation of CA in Malawi noted that adoption of CA was challenged by weak integration of CA in agricultural policies, lack of institutional arrangements of promoters and farmers' experiences .
