overview

This integrated land management practice involves digging trenches around farmland while leaving a 3.5 m outer boundary. The excavated soil is used to create dikes, which conserve rainwater and support vegetables, green manuring crops, fruit crops, and multipurpose trees. The system enhances land utilisation by enabling paddy and fish cultivation in Kharif and low water-requiring crops in non-trench areas.
