Soil conservationis the preventing of soil loss fromerosionor reduced fertility caused by over usage, acidification, salinization or other chemicalsoil contamination.Slash-and-burnand other unsustainable methodsofsubsistence farmingare practiced in some lesser developed areas. A sequel to the deforestation is typically large scaleerosion, lossof soil nutrients and sometimes totaldesertification. Techniques for improved soil conservation includecrop rotation,cover crops,conservation tillageand plantedwindbreaksand 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, policiessuch 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

The four most common soil erosion prevention methods are vegetation, geotextiles, mulch, and retaining walls. Preventing soil erosion is critical in protecting your property and exposed soil, whether from wind, weather, running water, and even the after-affects of forest fire.
Vegetation: The simplest and most natural way to prevent erosion is through planting vegetation. Plants establish root systems, which stabilizes soil and prevents soil erosion.soil erosion
Geotextiles: Using geotextiles is an effective method because it also stabilizes soil. When used in conjunction with growing vegetation, it is even more effective. There are three main types of geotextiles: woven, nonwoven, and coir.
Mulch/Fertilizer: Applying a layer of mulch to the soil top allows the soil to slowly soak up water, as it protects against rain impact, and restores pH levels helping with erosion prevention.
Retaining Walls: Retaining walls can be built around the area of erosion to prevent water run off. Runoff water leads to further erosion, and if used with other methods, retaining walls can be a very effective way to prevent soil erosion.
