Question

what is terrace farming how it is helpful

Answer 1

Terrace farming is a type of farming that consists of different "steps" or terraces that were developed in various places around the world. The Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras (hills and mountains) is a World Heritage Site. It dates back two thousand years

Terraced fields decrease both erosion and surface runoff, and may be used to support growing crops that require irrigation, such as rice. ... The terraceswere built to make the most efficient use of shallow soil and to enable irrigation of crops.



The major benefit, of course, is the conservation of soil and water. Terracesreduce both the amount and velocity of water moving across the soil surface, which greatly reduces soil erosion. Terracing thus permits more intensive cropping than would otherwise be possible
