What changes in technology are needed when transitioning to no-tillage soil cultivation, an expert explained.

Climate and economic changes are forcing farmers, including agricultural holdings, to rethink traditional approaches to land management. In particular, the trend of abandoning the plow and switching to other tillage technologies that "disturb" the soil less is becoming increasingly evident.
