How is terrace farming done?


Terrace farming is a method of farming where “steps” known as terraces are built by cutting flat areas out of hills or mountains in order to grow crops.

Terrace farming is useful as it decreases both erosion and surface runoff that conserves the fertility of topsoil and also used to support growing crops that require irrigation, such as rice.
