Increasing climate variability is affecting smallholder farmers in southern Africa. This study looks at Conservation Agriculture (CA) as a way to improve the resilience of farming systems against the adversities of climate, specifically moisture stress.CA and CT practices are assessed over a 14 year trial period on soil moisture and infiltration rates in Zambia. Soil chemical properties were also evaluated for these two tillage systems. Results showed significant differences in average soil moisture in the first 60 cm among the cropping systems in different years with the basins plus mulching system having highest moisture content in most of the years. Water infiltration rates were highest and averaged 48.5 mm h−1 in the CA-based systems and the lowest in CT which averaged 12.6 mm h−1. Soil chemical properties did not differ across tillage systems. The increased infiltration and available moisture in CA systems can buffer the effects of climate variability and provide greater resilience.
