Finite soil resources and the compaction and erosion of soil has a significant impact on food production. A new farming system, Conservation Agriculture, is being promoted globally. This involves interventions such as mechanical soil tillage being reduced to an absolute minimum to minimise detrimental effects on soil structure, composition and natural biodiversity. It has proven potential to improve crop yields, while improving the long-term environmental and financial sustainability
of farming. Trantor International Ltd propose a radically new approach to tractor design. It will meet the needs of Conservation Agriculture and will also be able to undertake a range of conventional tasks.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
