Jhum Cultivation:

• Jhum Cultivation is a word used for Shifting Cultivation in North East India.

• It does not use any fertilizers or other modern inputs and depends upon the rainfall pattern and land productivity.

• This type of farming is done by small farmers or tribals on small patches of land with the help of primitive tools like hoe, digging sticks, etc

• Tribals or farmers clear a patch of forest land and produce cereals and other food crops to sustain their family.

When the soil fertility gets decreased, they shift and clear a fresh patch of forest land.

• This allows nature to replenish fertility of soil through natural process.
