Answer:
Jhooming, also known as slash and burn cultivation is a farming method in which a forest is cleared out by cutting and burning trees to create farming areas.
In jhooming, the plants are first cut down then burned to ashes. These ashes provide nutrition to the soil and make it fertile. After repeated farming for several years, the soil becomes infertile which forces the farmers to leave the land to find a new farming area.
