Jhoom farming is very interesting. After cutting one crop the land is left as it is for some years. Nothing is grown there. The bamboo or weeds with grow on that land are not pulled out. They are cut and burnt. The Ash also makes the land fertile. While burning, care is taken so that the fire does not spread to the other parts of the forest. When the land is ready for farming it is lightly dug up, not ploughed. Seeds are dropped on it. In one farm different types of crops like maze, vegetables, chillies, rice etc can be grown.

Jhum cultivation also called slash and burn agriculture is a form of crop-growing farming activity.
Crops are grown in this cultivation by clearing the trees and other vegetation and then burning the fields.
