The introduction of No-till farming has helped preserve soil quality in the Appalachian Mountains.

No-till farming is an agricultural practice that minimizes soil disturbance by planting crops directly into the undisturbed soil. This method helps maintain soil structure, reduces erosion, and improves water retention. By preserving the natural habitat of beneficial organisms and enhancing soil health, no-till farming contributes to sustainable agricultural practices in the Appalachian region, supporting both productivity and environmental conservation.
