we do terrace farming to create more farms for more food. the human population is growing right now it is at about 7 billion people so we need more food so we need more farms. we build more and more farms. after a long time we have taken up all of the flat places and we need more farms so we grow them on slopes and the sides of hills etc., etc. thank you by the way this is avery 😎😜🌮

Terrace farming minimizes soil erosion.
Terrace Farming
One of the main ways for dealing with soil erosion in Zimbabwe is through terrace farming. Terrace farming makes reduces the amount soil erosion when compared with farming on flat land.
Terrace farming is necessary on mountains to help prevent soil erosion. If the soil were tilled up the side of the mountain all of soil would wash away to the bottom.
They did not have terrace farming, the Incas did
The Incas practiced terraced farming, where they sculpted flat platforms on steep mountainsides to plant crops. They also utilized irrigation systems, like canals and aqueducts, to bring water to their fields. Additionally, they grew a variety of crops such as corn, potatoes, quinoa, and beans.
Yes they are same
Terrace farmers live in many different places. The most terrace farming today is done in India, however, the Aztecs are the most famous for their terrace farming.

What does the implementation of terrace farming tell you about the geography of the Inca Empire?
yes terrace farming is still used today in fact it has improved a lot more!
Terrace farming was important to the Incas because it allowed them to cultivate crops on steep mountain slopes, maximizing available arable land for agriculture. This method of farming helped the Inca civilization to sustain their population by increasing food production and mitigating the challenges of farming in a mountainous region.
Inca terrace farming is a form of agricultural technique developed by the Inca civilization in the Andes Mountains. It involves constructing stepped terraces on steep slopes with irrigation channels to grow crops such as corn, potatoes, and quinoa. This technique maximizes arable land and helps prevent soil erosion in mountainous regions.
Incas
Yes, the Aztecs practiced terrace farming on the mountainsides and hills surrounding their cities. This technique allowed them to cultivate crops on steep and rocky terrain by creating flat, stepped terraces that trapped water and prevented soil erosion. Terrace farming was essential for supporting their growing population in a region with limited arable land.
