**11.3 Outlook for wider adoption**

Incorporating strategic tillage on a wider scale requires an adaptive management approach built on the foundation of soil health principles and site-specific conditions [17]. This entails comprehensive evaluation of soils, crops, and climate interactions to determine where strategic tillage aligned with other practices like cover cropping and crop rotation diversification can alleviate priority limitations. Given the complexities of soil systems, growers may be reluctant to depart from either intensive tillage or strict no-till doctrine without strong evidence for strategic tillage benefits in their contexts. Continued on-farm research and demonstration will be critical for wider adoption, along with technical guidance on monitoring soil function and indicators to profitably integrate strategic tillage. With increased knowledge and adaptive expertise, strategic tillage adoption could expand to sustainably enhance agricultural productivity and soil resilience.
