What farms are grown in terrace cultivation?

Terrace cultivation is a technique used to grow a variety of crops, not just one specific type of farm. Here's a breakdown:

Commonly grown crops in terrace cultivation:

* Grains: Rice, wheat, barley, oats, millet

* Fruits and vegetables: Apples, grapes, olives, peaches, tomatoes, potatoes, beans, carrots

* Other crops: Tea, coffee, spices, medicinal plants

Why terrace cultivation is used:

* Hillside farming: It allows farming on steep slopes, where soil erosion would be a major problem without terracing.

* Water conservation: Terraces create level surfaces, which helps to retain water and prevent runoff.

* Increased land use: Terraces maximize the amount of usable land on hillsides.

Examples of where terrace cultivation is practiced:

* Southeast Asia: Rice paddies

* Andes Mountains: Potatoes, quinoa, barley

* Mediterranean region: Grapes, olives, almonds

* Himalayas: Tea, coffee, cardamom

Note: The specific crops grown in terrace cultivation depend on the climate, soil conditions, and local markets.
