On steep slopes of 30 degrees, terracing can<br />
increase the farmable area by up to<br />
25 per cent. Therefore, for every<br />
4 hectares of terraced land,<br />
a farmer can gain a<br />
fifth hectare.<br />
sustainable management of<br />
mountains not only combats climate change<br />
by helping reduce mudslides, but also<br />
helps capture water, soils and nutrients<br />
for crop production<br />
