With minimal terraforming, what features/structures would need to be built to protect a 25mi radius city from wind?

I understand that the wind is caused by a differential in atmospheric pressure, but say that a city built in an extremely flat landscape is constantly threatened/harassed by the wind and wind-related incidents.

What would the core of engineers come up with as a solution given a tech level of present-day to perhaps 25 years in the future?

Background: The city has poor soil structure (hence minimal terraforming) and the wind threatens their crop yields because of poor water retention in soil and root structures. Bedrock is fairly reachable and building materials are not scarce through trade.
