Soil can be conserved by retention of the top layer.

Soil can be conserved by following means :-

By planting more trees as it will bind the soil
By preventing soil erosion through terrace farming, contour ploughing and barriers, rock dam,intercropping etc.
Banning the practice of slash and burn agriculture
Checking on the over use of chemical pesticides and fertilisers
Cover crops are the most useful cropping pattern
