5. CONCLUSION
The impacts of policies and plans established at the national and regional level by the Brazilian government and the efforts of public and private institutions to bring farmers to use the practices for controlling soil erosion and toward the massive adoption of ZT/CA and iCLF-CA management systems under conservation agriculture in Brazil, allow to forecast the following advances:
All these efforts are a result of the determination of farmers, extensionists, technical consultants, agricultural researchers and professors and private organizations, in promoting soil erosion control practices in an extensive area of Brazil. The success of plans and policies which allowed the adoption of practices and technologies based on ZT/CA and iCLF principles, if maintained in a conservative scenario, may reach to 60 million of hectares of agriculture land by the year 2025. In the process, the Brazilian agriculture will become one of the most sustainable in the world.
