Question

how are the following farming methods useful in preventing soil degradation?
1. Organic farming
2. Strip farming

Answer 1

Strip cropping is a method of farming which involves cultivating a field partitioned into long, narrow strips which are alternated in a crop rotation system. It is used when a slope is too steep or when there is no alternative method of preventing soil erosion. The most common crop choices for strip cropping are closely sown crops such as hay, wheat, or other forages which are alternated with strips of row crops, such as corn, soybeans, cotton, or sugar beets. The forages serve primarily as cover crops. In certain systems, strips in particularly eroded areas are used to grow permanent protective vegetation; in most systems, however, all strips are alternated on an annual basis.
Organic farming is a method of crop and livestock production that involves much more than choosing not to use pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms, antibiotics and growth hormones.

Answer 2

Srip farming is important as it prevents the soil in the mountain region from flooding away as the relief type of mountains is slope .So, small strils of land are cut in order to retain the water.
in organic farming the farmers choose not to use pesticides and fertilizers but to use natural products like compost and manure which enriches the soil and ensures a good yeild
