What farming methods help conserves soil?
Contour plowing, terraces, no-till farming, cover crops, and crop rotation.
What do terracing and contour plowing have in common?
They both run perpendicular to the slope of the land in that spot. For example, if one particular spot slopes north, the contour runs east/west. The difference is that terraces are normally built-up areas of soil which are intended to catch runoff water in a basin-shaped area. Contour plowing is not built-up above the rest of the surrounding area.
Is Contour plowing also known as no-till plowing?
NOT AT ALL. no-till plowing is when you leave it unturned. contour is when you plow it in the shape of the land. "No-till plowing" is an oxymoron, since any form of plowing is a form of tillage.
Difference between contour plowing and conservation plowing?
Contour Plowing is when you plow, like, a garden for example, but instead of plowing in straight lines, you go in curvy lines (you know what I mean, right?) Conservation Plowing, however, is like the normal plowing way. Straight lines, blablabla.

Why step farming is common in hills?
Step farming is more commonly known as terracing. In agriculture, a terrace is a leveled section of a hilly cultivated area, designed as a method of soil conservation to slow or prevent the rapid surface runoff of irrigation water. Often such land is formed into multiple terraces, giving a stepped appearance. The human landscapes of rice cultivation in terraces that follow the natural contours of the escarpments like contour plowing is a classic feature of the island of Bali and the Banaue Rice Terraces in Benguet, Philippines. In Peru, the Inca made use of otherwise unusable slopes by drystone walling to create terraces. This form of land use is prevalent in many countries, and is used for crops requiring a lot of water, such as rice. Terraces are also easier for both mechanical and manual sowing and harvesting than a steep slope would be.
