It is carried out in the areas with thick forest such as Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, etc. In this, a portion of forest is cut down and all the trees and weeds are burnt to produce ash.This type of farming is done in the hilly terrain like North-East and Mizoram.

Answer:

Jhum cultivation, also known as the slash and burn agriculture, is the process of growing crops by first clearing the land of trees and vegetation and burning them thereafter. The burnt soil contains potash which increases the nutrient content of the soil.

In the North-East states, agriculture is primarily based on Jhum cultivation.
