Answer 1

Contour Ploughing -

Contour plowing is the act of farming on a hill or a contoured area. ... This practice helps to prevent soil erosion in hilly and contoured areas by capturing the water runoff using water breaks to keep water contained. Contour plowing is also known as contour farming, and is a sustainable form of agriculture.

Terrance Farming -

Terrace cultivation, method of growing crops on sides of hills or mountains by planting on graduated terraces built into the slope. Though labour-intensive, the method has been employed effectively to maximize arable land area in variable terrains and to reduce soil erosion and water loss.

Shelterbelts -

a barrier of trees and shrubs that provides protection (as for crops) from wind and storm and lessens erosion.

Strip Farming -

the growing of a cultivated crop (such as corn) in strips alternating with strips of a sod-forming crop (such as hay) arranged to follow an approximate contour of the land and minimize erosion.
