By constructing terraces on hillsides and mountain slopes.
Broad platforms cut into steep slopes used for planting crops are terraces.
Terraces permit farming in areas that would otherwise be too steep to farm.
The terraces were used by the Inca civilization to create flat agricultural land on the steep mountain slopes of the Andes. The Maya civilization, on the other hand, did not extensively use terraces for agriculture due to the more flat terrain of their region. The Aztec civilization also did not heavily rely on terraces for agriculture, as their capital city of Tenochtitlan was built on a swampy island in Lake Texcoco.
Farmers cut terraces or furrows along hill slopes to reduce soil erosion caused by water runoff. These structures help to slow down water flow, trap sediment, and promote infiltration, which helps in conserving soil and preserving its fertility. Terraces also provide a level surface for planting crops, allowing water to be evenly distributed across the field.
The Inca tribe cut terraces, or broad platforms into steep slopes. They constructed stone walls atop the terraces to these terraces to clench, or hold the soil and plants in place. This is how the Inca farmed. =)-Ponce Shepard, Jr.

they dug irrigation systems to bring water from the mountain streams to the terraces
There are approximately 18 rice terraces in the Mountain Province in the Philippines. Some of these are named Bangen Rice Terraces, Besao Rice Terraces, and Sadanga Rice Terraces.
The Incas built farms in the mountains by creating terraces on the steep slopes. These terraces helped control erosion, retain water, and create flat surfaces for cultivating crops. The Incas also used irrigation systems to channel water from higher elevations to their mountain farms.
