Loss of fertile topsoil, reduced crop yields, and increased sedimentation in waterways.

Damaged pastures, soil erosion, and reduced biodiversity.

Increased soil erosion, loss of soil structure, and release of carbon dioxide.

Healthy plant growth, carbon sequestration, and water filtration.

Depletion of soil nutrients, increased pest susceptibility, and reduced biodiversity.

Increased soil erosion, habitat loss, and contribution to climate change.

Harm to non-target organisms, development of pesticide resistance, and water contamination.

Water pollution (eutrophication), soil degradation, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Soil salinization, depletion of water resources, and altered ecosystems.

Altered growing seasons, increased pest outbreaks, and more frequent extreme weather events.

Using resources wisely to meet current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs.

Plowing with the land's natural curves to minimize soil disturbance and erosion.

An agricultural technique that minimizes soil preparation and disturbance.

Rows of trees or bushes planted to block the wind and protect soil from erosion.

Creating flat steps on hillsides to reduce soil loss on slopes.

Alternating rows of crops with unplanted areas to prevent erosion and improve soil health.

Planting different crops in a sequence to improve soil health and fertility.

Letting leftover crop parts decompose in the soil to add nutrients.

Rotating grazing areas for livestock to prevent overgrazing and maintain pasture health.

Windbreaks planted at the edges of fields for extra protection against wind erosion.

Loss of fertile topsoil, reduced crop yields, water pollution, and increased sedimentation in waterways.

Leads to soil compaction, loss of vegetation cover, increased erosion, and reduced biodiversity.

Excessive tilling can disrupt soil structure, increase erosion, and reduce organic matter content.

Reduced crop yields, decreased plant health, and the need for synthetic fertilizers.

Removal of trees and vegetation cover exposes the soil to wind and water, leading to increased erosion rates.

Increases soil pH and adds calcium, making it more suitable for plant growth.

Depletes specific nutrients, increases pest and disease vulnerability, and reduces soil biodiversity.

Reduces water infiltration, limits root growth, and decreases oxygen availability for soil organisms.

Can harm beneficial soil organisms, disrupt nutrient cycling, and lead to pesticide runoff into waterways.

Soil degradation, reduced agricultural productivity, environmental pollution, and threats to food security.
