2.1 Courte description de l'Approche

The slopy land used for farming process or just for land management by planting trees or grasses on those areas is terrace farming.

2.2 Description détaillée de l'Approche

Description détaillée de l'Approche:

Aims / objectives: Main aim of terrace farming is to conserve the soil, but the system not only conserve the soil,but also help in agriculture, so it also helps people to earn their living.

Methods: Terrace farming starts from the tillaging process of the sloppy area. Usually people do not plant, productive plants on those area mainly they plant fast growing grasses and plant on those sloppy and risky areas. After some years when the mud and soil of that area get settled there properly than people also start the agriculture on those land also, from which they can earn their living.

Stages of implementation: To implement the project on that area local people had provided a lot of support. The huge economic support was provided by the European Union. Specially the Bagmati watershed management project had given huge huge economic support to this area. Mainly for water management purpose but also for land management.


Role of stakeholders: No presence of such kind of stakeholder in the project but the economic support was provided by European Union to plant trees and manage soil erosion in common land but land owner has also given their support in this project by planting trees and grasses on their land by themselves.

Other important information: Terrace farming has really helped local people to manage the land of that area, but the road making process has created a lots of problem of soil erosion which is also suppose to be managed by applying same process additional with some new process.

2.5 Pays/ région/ lieux où l'Approche a été appliquée

2.7 Type d'Approche

• fondé sur un projet/ programme

2.8 Principaux objectifs de l'Approche

The Approach focused mainly on SLM with other activities (Agriculture)

1. Soil conservation.
2. Agriculture
3. For fodder, grasses etc.

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: Low agricultural production is one of the main problem of this approach, because at initial period the soil is too loose so it may easily get lost from particular place. So, first trees were to be grown which supports the soil. Then only agriculture was to be performed. So, this is the main problem encountered by local peoples other problems were also faced by people but they were not big as the first one.
