Soil erosion is a global issue that has a negative impact on agriculture. Soil erosion causes topsoil degradation, resulting in a decrease in soil productivity. The balance between soil farming and depletion is critical for long-term agricultural sustainability. Soil erosion is caused by a variety of causes, including deforestation, overgrazing, and the use of agrochemicals, among others. Crop production has been hampered by soil erosion, a shortage of water, and nutritional deficiencies. Various methods, such as vegetation, mulching, matting the soil, bunding, reducing irrigation, and jetties, may be used to minimize soil erosion and increase crop yield. This review article focuses on the effect of soil erosion on agriculture in this respect. Soil erosion has a negative impact on crop productivity in a variety of ways, including nutrient loss, soil depth, and water availability. Soil erosion may be avoided in the future by using appropriate land management techniques.
