Shifting agriculture is a traditional agriculture practice in many parts of Asia, Africa and South America.
In shifting cultivation parts of the forest are cut and burnt in rotation.
Seeds are sown in the ashes after the first monsoon rains, and the crops is harvested by October – November.
Such plots are cultivated for a couple of years and then left fallow for 12 to 18 years for the forest to grow back.
The European foresters discourage the practice of shifting cultivation due to the following reasons:
Europeans regarded shifting cultivation was harmful for the forests .
They felt that the forest burnt would destroy timber and the danger of the flames would spread and burn valuable timber.
shifting cultivation made it harder for the government to caluculate taxes so British government decided to ban shifting cultivation.
As a resault, many communities were forcibly displaced from their homes in forest.
Some had to change occupations, while some resisted through large and small rebellions.
