Terracing is a farming method that uses “steps” built into the side of a mountain or hill. On each level, various crops are planted. When it rains, instead of washing away all of the nutrients in the soil nutrients are carried down to the next level. Additionally, these steps prevent land sliding that would take plants with it and destroy all of the crops on the hillside. This type of landscaping is therefore called terracing. Most of the area of KP is mountainous type and this method of farming is very suitable for agriculture and also for controlling erosion of fertile soil.
