4. Terrace Farming









                 In hilly areas, farming


                 is done by cutting steps


                 on the slopes of the


                 hills.



               This slows down the flow


                 of water and soil

                 removed from one step


                 is deposited on the


                 next step.



               Thus, the soil is never


                 completely lost. This


                 is terrace farming.
