Soil conservation practices

Soil conservation practices are methods used to protect the soil from erosion, degradation, and fertility loss. These include planting cover crops to shield the soil, practicing no-till farming to reduce disturbance, contour plowing along land slopes to prevent runoff, terracing hillsides to reduce erosion, and maintaining vegetation along waterways to trap sediments. These practices help preserve soil health, improve water retention, and sustain agricultural productivity, ensuring the land remains productive and ecologically healthy for future use.
