Resource protection techniques
Conservation practices are methods and techniques used to protect, preserve, or sustainably manage natural resources such as soil, water, wildlife, and forests.
In agriculture, these include crop rotation, contour plowing, and cover cropping to prevent erosion and maintain soil health.
The term extends to energy conservation practices like reducing consumption and improving efficiency.
