Answer:
Shifting agriculture, or slash and burn agriculture, is commonly practiced in the Amazon basin. In this type of agriculture, first of all, a patch of forest land is cleared by felling the trees. Then, the trees are burnt and crops are planted among the stumps. After a few years, the soil loses its fertility and the people abandon the clearing and make a new one in some other part of the forest.
