Description
This guide focuses on terracing, a time-tested technique for farming on steep slopes where soil erosion is a significant challenge. It explains the process of designing and building terraces to slow down water runoff and create flat planting areas. The guide covers the types of terraces (e.g., contour, bench, and V-shaped) and their suitability for different terrains. Additionally, it offers step-by-step instructions for constructing terraces, including materials to use, the right equipment, and maintenance practices. With these techniques, farmers can reduce soil loss, improve water retention, and make steep land more productive.
