Progressive terracing technology is established through successive deposits of sediments behind (upstream) any anti-erosional structure, in this case contour strips of vetiver grass (vetiveria zizanioides). To better stabilize the slopes in the long-term, trees are planted downstream of the vetiver hedges.

Terra Preta raised garden beds are a combination of techniques from permaculture and the production of Terra Preta, an anthrosol. These garden beds, which were created with local resources, are highly fertile and enable the production of much higher yields than traditional techniques, while diminishing soil erosion.

Le traitement des ravines vise à réduire l'érosion et à éviter la propagation des ravines, à l'aide de divers procédés tels que la végétalisation, les haies vives ou les seuils en pierres sèches, qui diminuent l'énergie des eaux de ruissellement dans les ravines.

Les Terrasses Radicales transforment les versants en des bandes de terres arables horizontales, soutenues par des murs de pierres sèches. Ces constructions diminuent les dégâts liés à l’érosion hydrique des sols et permettent aux exploitants de sécuriser leur production et d'augmenter leurs revenus en accroissant les superficies arables.
