Rice Cultivation in The Slope of Hill

Its really interesting and know as 'Terrace"

In agriculture, a **terrace** is a piece of sloped plane that has been cut into a series of successively receding flat surfaces or platforms, which resemble steps, for the purposes of more effective farming. This type of landscaping is therefore called **terracing**. Graduated terrace steps are commonly used to farm on hilly or mountainous terrain. Terraced fields decrease both erosion and surface runoff, and may be used to support growing crops that require irrigation, such as rice. The Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras have been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the significance of this technique. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farming https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landscaping https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erosion https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_runoff https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrigation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_Terraces_of_the_Philippine_Cordilleras https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Heritage_Site

Uses

Terraced paddy fields are used widely in rice, wheat and barley farming in east, south, and southeast Asia, as well as the Mediterranean Basin, Africa, and South America. Drier-climate terrace farming is common throughout the Mediterranean Basin, where they are used for vineyards, olive trees, cork oak, and other crops. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddy_field https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barley https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Asia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Asia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_Basin https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vineyard https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_oak Ancient history

Terracing is also used for sloping terrain; the Hanging Gardens of Babylon may have been built on an artificial mountain with stepped terraces, such as those on a ziggurat.[*citation needed*] At the seaside Villa of the Papyri in Herculaneum, the villa gardens of Julius Caesar's father-in-law were designed in terraces to give pleasant and varied views of the Bay of Naples. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging_Gardens_of_Babylon https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziggurat https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_of_the_Papyri https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herculaneum https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Caesar
