In Steep slope region when farming is done on flat surface. So, where does this flat surface come from? You made it available for yourself by using machines or manually. :) Just Think of Steps of your house. Your Dearest child insists to plant something on Every step. Terrace Farming it is somewhat bigger in size.
Contour ploughing: In Steep slope region when you want to do farming without making available a flat surface for you because you’re too lazy to do all this work. so whats the solution now? Umm, well, now you are going to plant something down the slope without doing extra labor. An idea pops up into your mind to use physical barrier (Stones, sand or trenches) to prevent surface runoff.

contour ploughing :-
# Tilling the field at right angles to the natural slope after drawing up the elevation contour lines is called contour ploughing in soil, prevents and reduces soil erosion.
1. These are less effective in minimizing the soil erosion.
2. It follows the “natural shape” of the slope without altering it.
3. Contour uses the curves of the mountain to plant the crops.
Terrace Farming :-
# In terracing, wide steps are cut around the slopes of hills to prevent soil erosion. Terrace farming alters the shape of the slope to produce flat areas that provide a catchment for water.
1. These are more effective in minimizing soil erosion.
2. It alters the shape of the slope to produce flat areas that provide a catchment for water.
3. Terrace farming cuts flat platforms in the side of the mountain.
