Indigenous soil and water management sustains Nagaland terrace farming, study finds

A study on Nagaland's terrace farming systems has found that indigenous soil and water management practices are key to sustaining the agricultural method. Researchers examined the social, cultural, and ecological dimensions underlying the practice.

The findings suggest that development policies and projects in the region could benefit from integrating culturally sensitive agricultural approaches. The study underscores the importance of recognizing and preserving traditional farming knowledge alongside modern development initiatives.
