Mitigating soil degradation requires a multi-pronged approach:
1. Sustainable Agriculture: Practices such as crop rotation, organic farming, and reduced chemical use can help maintain soil health. 2. Pollution Control: Implementing stricter regulations on industrial emissions and waste disposal can reduce soil contamination. 3. Remediation Techniques: Methods like phytoremediation, where plants are used to absorb contaminants, can help clean polluted soils. 4. Public Awareness: Educating communities about the impacts of soil degradation and promoting sustainable practices can foster collective action.
