Control of Land Degradation

Control of Land Degradation

Following ways can control Land degradation
1. Restoration of forests and grass cover can help in prevention of soil erosion and
floods.
2. By replacing shifting cultivation with crop rotation, mixed cropping or plantation
cropping. Providing adequate drainage to irrigated and flood-prone lands can prevent
salinity.
3. Desertification can be controlled by spread of appropriate plant species and by
raising trees as wind breaks.
