An underground network of pipes that removes excess water from soil to prevent waterlogging and improve root growth.

Tilling at right angles to the slope of the land to reduce runoff and soil erosion.

Vegetated area near a stream which helps shade and partially protect the stream from the impact of adjacent land uses.

Structures designed to capture sediment from runoff before it enters waterways, thereby reducing pollution and erosion.

Planting crops to provide ground cover during off-season to reduce soil erosion and improve soil health.

Rows of trees or shrubs planted to reduce wind speed to protect soil from wind erosion.

A tillage system that leaves crop residue on the soil surface to reduce runoff and erosion.

Farming system that relies on eco-friendly practices, such as biological pest control and green manure, to improve soil and water quality.

Areas of grass or other permanent vegetation used to reduce sediment, organic material, nutrients, pesticides and other contaminants from runoff.

Applying a layer of material to soil surface to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and prevent erosion.

A highly efficient irrigation method that delivers water directly to the plant roots to reduce water usage.

Use of synthetic mulching materials, like plastic sheets, to control soil temperature and moisture, and to suppress weed growth.

The use of living plant materials to construct terraces, check dams, and other structures to reduce soil erosion and stabilize landscapes.

Creating terraces on steep slopes to reduce surface runoff and soil erosion.

Planting alternating strips of erosion-resistant and erosion-prone crops along the contour.

Collecting and storing rainwater for agricultural use to reduce dependency on groundwater.

Crops that are grown to be plowed into the soil to improve soil fertility and organic matter content.

Alternating the types of crops grown in each field to improve soil fertility and reduce erosion.

Structures designed to collect and retain water for irrigation purpose thereby reducing soil erosion.

Basins designed to retain stormwater and reduce peak discharge to rivers and streams during storm events.

Channels designed to direct runoff and reduce soil erosion by establishing grass within them.

Tillage practice that disturbs the soil minimally and maintains the maximum amount of crop residue on the field’s surface.

Strips of vegetation between crops and water bodies to intercept pollutants and prevent contamination.

Artificial wetlands created as part of a waste treatment system to remove sediments and nutrients from agricultural run-off.

An ecological approach to pest control that combines biological, cultural, mechanical, and chemical tools to minimize environmental impacts.

Applying water-saving techniques and technologies to maximize irrigation efficiency and minimize water loss.

An agricultural technique that involves growing crops without disturbing the soil through tillage.

Integrating trees and shrubs with crop and animal farming to create more diverse, productive, and sustainable land-use systems.
