Answer 1

Hey Mate !

The Slash and Burn agriculture is also known as " Podu " Cultivation or Shifting Cultivation or Jhumming Cultivation.

In this cultivation the farmers used to clear some parts of forest by burning them. As the ash improves the fertility of soil. There they sow the seeds. After harvesting they moved their cultivation to other areas.

This was first followed in Africa and some parts of India. Now most of the countries have banned this type of Cultivation because it results to the deforestation of many forests.
