# Cover Cropping **Definition:** Cover cropping is the practice of planting specific crops—such as legumes, grasses, or brassicas—primarily to cover and protect soil rather than for harvest. **Why it matters:** Cover crops prevent soil erosion, suppress weeds, and improve soil health by adding organic matter and nutrients (especially nitrogen-fixing legumes). They represent a cornerstone of sustainable agriculture, reducing the need for chemical inputs while enhancing water retention and supporting beneficial soil microorganisms that boost long-term crop productivity.
