Quizplus · Accepted Answer

No-till agriculture involves leaving crop residue on the field between plantings to help prevent soil erosion, improve soil health, and reduce the need for tillage, which can disturb soil structure and lead to erosion. Slash and burn agriculture, swidden, and shifting cultivation all involve clearing land by burning vegetation, which can contribute to soil degradation and deforestation. Precision agriculture uses technology to optimize crop yields and reduce input use, but does not necessarily focus on soil conservation.
