Hillside farming is an agricultural practice where crops are grown on sloped land. This method helps to maximize the use of land that may not be suitable for traditional flat farming. Farmers often use techniques like terracing, which involves creating stepped levels on the hillside, to reduce soil erosion and manage water runoff. This type of farming is common in regions with mountainous terrain, such as the Andes in South America and the Himalayas in Asia. Hillside farming can support diverse crops, including coffee, tea, and various fruits and vegetables, contributing to local economies and food security.
