This chapter presents the relationship between Conservation Agriculture (CA) and ecosystem services. Ecosystem services comprise resources and processes supplied by nature that benefit farmers and societies. Services that benefit farmers operate in production fields and those that benefit societies operate across landscapes and watersheds. Ecosystem services are categorized into supporting, regulating, provisioning and cultural services. This chapter also illustrates ecosystem services that operate in CA production fields that relate to soil and crop performance and provide examples of ecosystem services that operate in CA landscapes and watersheds in Canada, Brazil, China and Spain.
