Jhum cultivation which is popularly known as shifting cultivation is one of the oldest types of cultivation practices in India and is practised majorly in the northeastern states of India. This cultivation has a particular pattern that has to be followed according to the cycle or the period of Jhum cultivation.
Initially, the vegetation or the forest on the land is cleared where the cultivation needs to be practised and then the farming begins. After the harvest, the land is allowed to have its vegetation back.
