Soil conservation is the preventing of soil loss from erosion or reduced fertility caused by over usage, acidification, salinization or other chemical soil contamination.

Slash-and-burn and other unsustainable methods of subsistence farming are practiced in some lesser developed areas. A sequel to the deforestation is typically large scale erosion, loss of soil nutrients and sometimes total desertification. Techniques for improved soil conservation include crop rotation, cover crops, conservation tillage and planted windbreaks and affect both erosion and fertility. When plants, especially trees, die, they decay and become part of the soil. Code 330 defines standard methods recommended by the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service. Farmers have practiced soil conservation for millennia. In Europe, policies such as the Common Agricultural Policy are targeting the application of best management practices such as reduced tillage, winter cover crops,[1] plant residues and grass margins in order to better address the soil conservation.Political and economic action is further required to solve the erosion problem. A simple governance hurdle concerns how we name and value the land and what we call it and this can be changed by cultural adaptation.[2]

Here are the three methods in brief for soil conservation:
.
1. Afforestation:
The best way to conserve soil is to increase the area under forests. Indiscriminate felling of trees should be stopped and efforts should be made to plant trees in new areas.
.
2. Checking overgrazing:
Arising of forests and grasslands by animals especially my boards and sheeps should be properly checked on time.
.
3. changing agriculture practice:
We can save a lot of our valuable soil by bringing about certain changes in our agriculture practices
Like crop rotation, strip croping.
