Terrace farming - Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Assam, Sikkim and Nagaland.
Explanation:
Terrace farming is generally practiced in hilly areas. In India, it is practiced in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and some north-eastern states like Assam, Sikkim and Nagaland. Terrace farming is a method of farming where steps of land area are cleared for farming along the slopes of hills and mountains. Each step of land cultivated is called a terrace. Terrace farming prevents soil erosion. When it rains, instead of rain carrying away the soil nutrients and plants down the slope, they flow to the next terrace. Every step has an outlet which channels water to the next step. Crops grown in terraces are rice, barley, wheat, potatoes, corn, tea, olive, grape vines, coffee, etc. A terrace is typically about 2-3 meters wide and 50-80 meters long.
