Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Starting a water catchment and applying manure and mulch to their fields will help conserve water and improve soil fertility. Avoiding tilling the soil will also prevent soil erosion and conserve moisture. Using oxen or mules may not be practical for all farmers and digging deeper wells may not be sustainable in the long term. Shifting to a different crop may not be relevant or applicable to all farmers.
