Soil conservation strategies
Analysis questions:
1. No-till means that soil can retain more oxygen, and are not compacted by heavy machinery
2. Increased dependence on herbicides
3. Intercropping and crop rotation are the methods that promote soil conservation.
Intercropping: Grow crops among plants of a different kind
Crop rotation: Action/ system of rotating crops
Agroforestry: agriculture incorporating the cultivation and conservation of trees
Contour plowing: Plowing along the contours of the land to minimize erosion
No-Till Agriculture: way of growing crops without disturbing the soil through tillage
