4. How to Conserve Soil

Soil conservation is vital for food production and ecological balance:

• Reduce Erosion: Plant ground cover like grass or use terracing to prevent soil erosion due to wind or water.
• Practice Crop Rotation: Rotate crops to maintain soil fertility and prevent the depletion of specific nutrients.
• Use Mulching: Apply organic mulch to maintain soil moisture, reduce weeds, and add nutrients back into the soil.
• Avoid Overgrazing: Control livestock grazing to prevent soil compaction and degradation, allowing the land to recover.
