Abstract


Soil erosion is a major global environmental issue that threatens the productivity of agricultural lands and contributes to land degradation. Soil conservation measures play a crucial role in mitigating soil erosion and preserving soil health. This abstract focuses on the significance of soil conservation techniques in preventing soil erosion. It explores various methods such as contour farming, terracing, conservation tillage, and the use of cover crops. The effectiveness of these techniques in reducing runoff, increasing water infiltration, and preserving soil structure is discussed. Additionally, the abstract highlights the importance of proper implementation, adoption challenges, and the need for policy support to promote widespread soil conservation practices. By employing effective soil conservation strategies, we can safeguard the integrity of our soils, enhance agricultural sustainability, and preserve the long-term health of our ecosystems.
