List out Three Methods of Soil Conservation

Answer:

• Afforestation- Planting trees can help to conserve soil as the roots of plants bind the soil together and prevents soil erosion to a large extent.
• Contour farming- Instead of cutting rows along slopes, it is a better to do terrace farming as it does not cause the flow of water to form currents and therefore prevent erosion.
• Windbreaks and shelterbelts- Wind causes soil to erode, by planting trees, shelter crops and bushes in several rows, a guard to strong winds is created preventing the erosion of soil.
