Strip Cropping is a method of 

farming in which two or more crops are grown simultaneously into long narrow strips wide enough to permit
independent cultivation but narrow enough to interact agronomical. It means strips are alternated in a crop rotation. It is usually employed on
sloppy land and also where this method remains the only available solution to prevent erosion. It helps preserve the fertility of the soil by forming a
water dam in between the strips; therefore, nutrients that would have been lost due to runoff are otherwise retained in the dam. Some plant parts
absorb more nutrients and minerals than other parts. During erosion, when water reaches the soil with low minerals which constitutes the strength
of the soil, it, therefore, washes the topsoil away, stripping it of the little available nutrients. This is otherwise avoided by the strip of soil which
reduces the pressure of the water making it difficult to wash the soil away; thereby, maintaining the soil fertility.
Terrace farming is an agricultural practice farmers employ on steep slopes, hilly areas, and higher altitudes. Terrace farmers construct successive
layers of flat areas on mountainsides or other terrains with steep inclines to better control soil conservation and runoff water. These levels look like
staircase steps and create more apparent segments of arable land without harming the surrounding ecosystem.
Riprap is a permanent layer of large, angular stone, cobbles, or boulders typically used to armor, stabilize, and protect the soil surface against
erosion and scour in areas of concentrated flow or wave energy. Riprap describes a range of rocky material placed along shorelines, bridge
foundations, steep slopes, and other shoreline structures to protect from scour and erosion.
Contour plowing is the practice of plowing horizontally along the contours of the land. This plowing technique prevents soil erosion in hilly and
contoured areas by capturing the water runoff. The contour lines also create a water break that reduces the formation of rills and gullies during
heavy rainfall, allowing water to seep into the soil. Contour farming is a sustainable form of agriculture and is mostly done in hilly and sloped areas.
