Hill farming

Hill farming refers to agricultural activities conducted on sloped, inland, or upland terrains, often characterized by limited flat land and challenging terrain. It typically involves grazing animals like sheep or cattle, growing crops suited to less fertile soils, and managing landscapes that include steep hillsides. This form of farming maintains rural communities, conserves natural scenery, and promotes sustainable land use despite the difficulties posed by terrain and weather. Hill farming often requires specialized techniques to prevent soil erosion and optimize production, making it an essential part of rural economies in hilly regions.
