Agricultural Soil Conservation

Agricultural soil conservation involves practices that protect and preserve the health and productivity of soil, ensuring it remains fertile and resilient over time. This includes techniques like crop rotation, contour plowing, terracing, cover cropping, and reducing tillage, which prevent erosion, improve water retention, and reduce nutrient loss. These methods help maintain sustainable farming, prevent land degradation, and support long-term food production by keeping the soil structure intact and minimizing environmental impact.
