Increase soil erosion, landslides and nutrient loss

Utilize Nitrogen fixing crops

Plant stabilizing trees on vulnerable slopes to control landslides

Utilize barrier crops to trap and prevent sediments from eroding

Utilize cover crops to hold soil

Utilize site capture crops to quickly revegetate bare slopes

Encourage rehabilitation of bare land and areas subject to soil erosion.

Practice contour cropping/terracing

Discourage burning of grasslands or marginal vegetation that holds soil

Forest Plantations on sloping areas should be planted in various planting rows and patters to encourage soil retention

Reforest cleared slopes with tree and grass species with well developed root systems that will control soil erosion (e.g. vetiver and namamau)
