Terrace Farming

Terrace farming is an agricultural method used on slopes or hilly terrain, where farmers create flat areas, or terraces, on the hillside to grow crops. This technique helps control soil erosion, manage water runoff, and maximize arable land. By building these step-like structures, farmers can cultivate crops in regions that would otherwise be difficult to farm due to steep gradients. Additionally, terrace farming improves irrigation efficiency and helps retain moisture, ultimately enhancing crop yields and sustainability in challenging environments. It is commonly practiced in various parts of the world, particularly in regions like Asia and the Andes.
