Conventional agriculture systems with an increased cost of cultivation reduce partial factor productivity, and deterioration of energy, soil, water, and environmental quality threatens food security and aggravates climate change. A holistic package of reduced tillage, residue recycling, crop diversification, and best-bet agronomic practices offered by the conservation agriculture (CA) system seems promising in achieving food security and developing climate resilience in the food production system. This study highlights the overview of CA system, global and national status of CA, opportunities and constraints in adoption of CA, resource efficiencies, particularly energy budgeting in CA, the scope of climate resilience and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) mitigation through CA adoption, indices of soil health and carbon sequestration potential under CA systems, and prospects and critical areas of research for scaling of CA systems. Synergies and trade-offs need to be precisely taken care of for need-based site-specific redesigning of CA systems for assured farmer’s income, ecological services, and sustainable development. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022, Corrected Publication 2022.
