How do you reduce urban land degradation?

Answer

Reducing land degradation starts with maintaining ground conditions natural to a land site. Over farming and continuous working of the land leads to massive amounts of erosion over time. Maintaining native vegetation on you land will help keep the topsoil from being eroded away. Paving surfaces also changes heat capacities in natural earth which can lead to imbalanced water levels. This in turn can lead to aquifer erosion from the movement of water beneath the surface. Of course, the best way to reduce it is to avoid human interaction with the land itself, but then it wouldn't be "urban" would it?

If you need more information, there are a ton of sites out there devoted to stuff like this. Just google around for it.
