Thank you Adeyayo - it is important to note that this technique can make a big difference in reducing soil erosion even if the slope is not very steep.
Yes Bhaksar, it is cassava. Which has also been mixed at times with groundnut or cowpea, as you can see in this accompanying video ruclips.net/video/JyiMD6Q0fU8/видео.html
Vetiver grass is often used for this purpose. But in this video, the species used is Paspalum atratum - preferred by growers in Northern Vietnam because it can withstand cold winter temperatures and makes a good feed for cattle or buffalo.
Useful Video. i appreciate this from Nigeria

Is that crop between the grass strips? I think its root is used for food. Very nice technology. I am much impressed.

Awesome, what is the name of the grass?
I believe it is Vetiver
This cannot be vetiver if she is collecting and selling seed. Vetiver does not produce seed. This looks like panicum maximum, guinea grass.
