1) Ploughing across elevation contour lines. The contour lines break water run offs during heavy rainfall, impeding soil erosion.
2) Practicing terrace farming: This is where graduated steps of land are made on the slope to control soil erosion.
3) Planting strips of grass: Grass on the slopes acts as water and wind breaker, therefore limiting the process of erosion.
