Raised-field agriculture

Raised-field agriculture involves constructing elevated planting beds, or "mounds," above the surrounding land to improve crop growth. This technique helps with drainage, preventing waterlogging, and can protect plants from pests and frost. By creating these raised areas, farmers can optimize soil conditions, increase yields, and make better use of limited or challenging land, especially in flood-prone or poor soil regions. It is an ancient farming method practiced in various cultures worldwide, still relevant today for sustainable and efficient agriculture in specific environments.
