  1. To reduce soil erosion, afforestation and maintaining vegetation cover help hold soil firmly. Terrace farming and contour ploughing reduce runoff on slopes, while check dams and bunds control water flow. Avoiding overgrazing and deforestation further prevents soil loss, ensuring soil fertility, water retention and sustainable agricultural productivity in erosion-prone regions.
