Most don't, but it's mainly because they have no choice, either because the growing conditions in the valleys are not suitable, or they don't know that they shouldn't be farming on mountain slopes to begin with.

Are sea and land breezes similar to mountain and valley breezes?

Mountain and valley breezes are other examples of local winds caused by an area's geography. Campers in mountains areas may feel warm afternoon quickly change into cold night soon after the sun sets. During the day, the sun warms the air along the mountain slopes. This warm air rises up the mountain slopes, creating a valley breeze. At nightfall, the air along the mountain slopes cools. This is cool air moves down the slopes into the valley, producing a mountain breeze.
