Slash and burn farming
Explanation:
Slash and burn farming is a form of shifting agriculture where the natural vegetation is cut down and burned as a method of clearing the land for cultivation. And then, when the plot becomes infertile, the farmer moves to a new fresh plot and does the same again. This process is repeated over and over. The disadvantages of using slash and burn agriculture is deforestation, and emission of greenhouse gases. When this type of agriculture is practiced by large populations, they have to cut down a lot of trees to grow new crops. This leads to an increase in carbon dioxide levels, which is harmful for the atmosphere.
