Many agricultural areas in the Philippines are situated on slopes or steep terrain, which can pose challenges for farming. Sloping agricultural areas in the Philippines are particularly vulnerable to soil erosion and nutrient depletion, which can lead to reduced crop yields and lower soil fertility.
Despite the challenges posed by sloping agricultural areas, many farmers in the Philippines continue to plant crops on steep terrain, often relying on traditional farming practices and local knowledge to adapt to the unique characteristics of the land. In some regions, farming on sloping land is a longstanding tradition that is deeply rooted in local culture. Farmers may be hesitant to abandon this practice, even if it poses challenges.
After the completion of terracing, farmers can utilize the leveled surfaces for crop cultivation. The terraces help retain water and soil nutrients. Additionally, the flat areas allow farmers to use machinery for planting, and harvesting.Contour farming is a practice that involves planting crops perpendicular to the slope of sloping land. The purpose of contour farming is to reduce soil erosion and increase water retention by creating furrows that run horizontally along the slope.
