Question

Describe two farming practices that can reduce erosion

Answer 1

Contour farming and reducing tillage are two practices that can help reduce erosion.

Contour farming - it creates reservoirs to collect rainwater and reduces soil erosion                                                                                                                               Reducing tillage - allows crops to remain in the soil as to reduce soil erosion; no tilling means no interruption to the soil structure

Answer 2

Terracing reduces water erosion by constructing stair like farms. Shelter belts reduce wind erosion by planting tall crops so wind goes over the land.
