Answer
protection against loss.
Explanation
Solution
Soil conservation is the protection of soil from loss like heavy rainfall, drainage, high wind, flood, draught etc. . This process helps in preventing the soil erosion, degradation and even loss of fertility of soil. This will ensure the high yield and long term productivity of the soil. For example: with the help of crop rotation the fertility of the soil is maintained and also reduces the risk of pest that can degrade the soil and crops.
