The Picture is of the Terrace farming.
- Terrace farming is an agricultural practice in which "steps" called terraces are constructed into the slopes of hills and mountains to cultivate crops.
- Rice-growing countries in Asia, such as Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia, use terrace farming extensively.
- Terrace farming keeps soil nutrients from being washed away by rain.
- Each step includes an outlet that directs water to the next. This keeps some parts dry while others stay damp.
- Terracing is divided into two types: graded terracing and level terracing.
- Along its length, a graded terrace might have either constant or varying grades.
- The level terraces, on the other hand, follow a contour line and are best suited to permeable soil.
- Terrace farming thus aids in prevention of soil erosion and water conservation. Another advantage of terrace farming is that it has turned hillside land into productive one.
