                                                Shifting cultivation

A form of agriculture, used especially in tropical Africa, in which an area of ground is cleared of vegetation and cultivated for.

A tract of land is cultivated until its fertility diminishes, when it is abandoned until this is restored naturally .

Once the land becomes inadequate for crop production, it is left to be reclaimed by natural vegetation, or sometimes converted to a different long term cyclical farming practice.

This system of agriculture is often practised at the level of an individual or family, but sometimes may involve an entire village.

An estimated population exceeding 250 million people derive subsistence from the practice of shifting cultivation, and ecological consequences are often deleterious.
