What is \'slash \' and \'burn\' agriculture? |
|
Answer» Also known as shifting cultivation \tIn this agriculture, farmers clear a patch of land and produce cereals and other crops to sustain their families.\tWhen the soil fertility decreases, the farmers shift and clear a fresh patch of land for cultivation.\tThis type of shifting allows nature to replenish the fertility of the soil through natural processes.\tLand productivity in this type of agriculture is low, as the farmers do not use fertilisers or any modern inputs. It is a farming method that involves the cutting and burning of trees in the forest to create a field called a swidden.it is also called swidden agriculture |
