Improving soil quality involves several strategies:
Soil Remediation: Techniques like bioremediation, phytoremediation, and soil washing to remove or neutralize contaminants. Organic Amendments: Adding compost, manure, or other organic materials to enhance soil structure and nutrient content. Cover Crops: Growing specific plants to protect soil from erosion, improve fertility, and reduce contaminant levels through phytoremediation. Reduced Chemical Use: Minimizing the use of pesticides and fertilizers to prevent soil contamination. Regular Monitoring: Conducting routine soil tests to track quality and identify potential issues early.
