TECA Webinar: Soil conservation practices to reduce soil erosion: 
Terrace Systems [1]
  [1]

Soil conservation is becoming increasingly important due to climate 
change and harmful farming practices. In hilly or mountainous areas, 
soil erosion is unavoidable due to rain and wind. Terracing is one of 
the practices used to prevent rainfall runoff in sloping lands for soil 
and water conservation.

Terracing is a method applied to prevent soil erosion due to excessive 
rainfall and to reduce the formation of gullies. This consist of ridges 
constructed across the slope to conserve soil, nutrients and increases 
the soil productivity, as well as reduces flooding and minimizes soil 
erosion through decreased slope gradient. Terrace systems are widely 
spread in east and Southeast Asia for rice farming, and in the 
Mediterranean for the cultivation of vineyards and olive trees.

This webinar highlights the benefits of implementing terraces system in 
agriculture.
