When a raindrop hits soil that is not protected by a cover of vegetation and where there are no roots to bind the soil, it has the impact of a bullet.
Erosion occurs when farming practices are not compatible with the fact that soil can be washed away or blown away. These practices are:
• Overstocking and overgrazing
• Inappropriate farming techniques such as deep ploughing land 2 or 3 times a year to produce annual crops
• Lack of crop rotation
• Planting crops down the contour instead of along it.
