Both of these farming methods focus on preserving topsoil by reducing erosion from water runoff. The major benefit to these methods is the preservation of the nutrients in the field, resulting in less fertilizer application and less need for artificial irrigation.
Strip cropping and Contour plowing are the methods of Conserving soil.

It Prevents Soil Erosion
By terracing, contour plowing, natural vegetation, strip cropping, using trees as windbreaks, reforestation and afforestation.
strip cropping reduces soil erosion due to rainwater runoff and wind.
Terracing and strip cropping are done to prevent soil erosion.
