Soil erosion is a big problem in Ethiopia, leading to poor soil quality and lower crop yields. By using soil and water conservation methods like soil bunds, the soil's physical and chemical properties can be improved. These methods help reduce runoff and soil loss, keeping the soil fertile and moist for better crop growth. Studies have shown that using these practices can increase grain yields and overall agricultural productivity. To protect the soil and improve crop yields, it's important to implement soil and water conservation practices tailored to the specific area's conditions.
