Excerpt from Farming Terraced Land: U. S. Department of Agriculture Leaflet No. 335 Building a set of terraces does not in itself control erosion. Construction is only the beginning. How well terraces do the job they are meant to do depends on how they are farmed. A great many terraces have been built on farm land in the United States during the last few years. Many more are needed. Terraces would probably be more widely used if farmers understood how easy it is to farm them when they are built right. Some of the early terraces were built with the ridges and channels too narrow. This made a definite obstruction to normal farming Operations. Properly built terraces with broad ridges and channels are essential if farming Operations are to be successfully and easily performed. One way to make terraces easier to farm, particularly with row crops, is to build them parallel to each other. This is not possible on all land that needs terracing. If you are planning to build terraces, you may want to check with the Soil Conservation Service technician assigned to your soil conservation district to see if parallel terraces can be constructed on your land.

This volume collects the best scientific contribution presented in the 3rd World Conference on Terraced Landscapes held in Italy from 6th to 15th October 2016, offering a deep and multifaceted insight into the remarkable heritage of terraced landscapes in Italy, in Europe and in the World (America, Asia, Australia). It consists of 2 parts: a geographical overview on some of the most important terraced systems in the world (1st part), and a multidisciplinary approach that aims to promote a multifunctional vision of terraces, underlining how these landscapes meet different needs: cultural and historical values, environmental and hydrogeological functions, quality and variety of food, community empowerment and sustainable development (2nd part). The volume offers a great overview on strengths, weaknesses, functions and strategies for terraced landscapes all over the world, summarizing in a final manifest the guidelines to provide a future for these landscapes as natural and cultural heritage.

There are twenty million acres of lawns in North America. In their current form, these unproductive expanses of grass represent a significant financial and environmental cost. However, viewed through a different lens, they can also be seen as a tremendous source of opportunity. Access to land is a major barrier for many people who want to enter the agricultural sector, and urban and suburban yards have huge potential for would-be farmers wanting to become part of this growing movement. The Urban Farmer is a comprehensive, hands-on, practical manual to help you learn the techniques and business strategies you need to make a good living growing high-yield, high-value crops right in your own backyard (or someone else's). Major benefits include: Low capital investment and overhead costs Reduced need for expensive infrastructure Easy access to markets Growing food in the city means that fresh crops may travel only a few blocks from field to table, making this innovative approach the next logical step in the local food movement. Based on a scalable, easily reproduced business model, The Urban Farmer is your complete guide to minimizing risk and maximizing profit by using intensive production in small leased or borrowed spaces. Curtis Stone is the owner/operator of Green City Acres, a commercial urban farm growing vegetables for farmers markets, restaurants, and retail outlets. During his slower months, Curtis works as a public speaker, teacher, and consultant, sharing his story to inspire a new generation of farmers.
