- Solving global issues with technology: Names example; Fixing land degradation
- Increasing organic content in the soil by adding manure and crop wastes to improve structure and drainage
- Leaving land fallow allows soil to recover
- Crop rotations balance out the nutrient budget and prevents pest taking long term hold
- Planting shelterbelts- prevents soil being washed or blown away
- Alley- cropping alternates crops with trees and bushes providing shade and reducing water loss by evaporation
- Magic stones- used to slow runoff and prevent soil erosion
