Answer:

Explanation:

Certain conservation measures can reduce soil erosion. Soil / land management practices such as tillage and cropping practices, directly affect the overall soil erosion problem and solutions on a farm. When crop rotations or changing tillage practices are not enough to control erosion on a field, a combination of measures might be necessary. For example, contour plowing, strip cropping, or terracing may be considered.  

These are some ways:

Conservation agriculture

Contour farming

Drains, ditches, broadbeds and furrows, terraces

Agroforestry

Conservation / regeneration measures

Answer:

We take several measures to conserve soil. These measures are collectively known as soil conservation. Some of the ways to conserve soil are:

• Cover crops such as grass should be planted on barren land to prevent soil erosion.

• Terrace farming - Also known as step farming, it is practised in hilly areas. It involves creating steps to prevent water runoff, hence check soil erosion.

• Construction of rock dams prevent floods, hence check soil erosion.

• Overgrazing of animals should be prevented.

• Shelter belts - This method involves planting trees or shrubs around the farms in coastal areas. The trees act as windbreaks and prevent soil from being eroded.
