Examine the importance of soil conservation in ... - JSS1 Agricultural science Soil Conservation Methods Question

Soil conservation is crucial in agriculture to minimise soil erosion and maintain soil health. Consequences of soil erosion include:

  - Loss of Fertile Topsoil: Erosion can result in the loss of the nutrient-rich topsoil, negatively impacting crop productivity.

  - Reduced Water Quality: Soil erosion contributes to sedimentation in water bodies, affecting water quality.

  - Impacts on Soil Structure: Erosion disrupts soil structure, leading to compaction and reduced water infiltration.
