Question

Jhoom farming by paragraph

Answer 1

Jhum or Jhoom farming is a local name for slash and burn agriculture practiced by the tribal groups in the northeastern states of India like Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland and also in the districts of Bangladesh like Khagrachari and Sylhet. This system involves clearing a piece of land by setting fire or clear felling and using the area for growing crops of agricultural importance such as upland rice, vegetables or fruits. After a few cycles, the land loses fertility and a new area is chosen.

$\huge\mathfrak\blue{Answer}$

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.
