HEY MATE.......

The main features of shifting cultivation are that agriculture is confined to small, scattered areas and mainly restricted to villages, tribes or community, the land is mainly cleared with the aid of fire; the cleared areas are cultivated under very crude and extravagant methods for 2-3 years and then abandoned for 5-15 years and then again cleared up. In India shifting cultivation is known as ‘jhum’ in Assam, ‘ponam’ in Kerala, ‘podu’ in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, ‘bewar’ and ‘mashan’ in parts of Madhya Pradesh. Such type of cultivation is mostly prevalent in the forest areas of Assam, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Manipur, Tripura, Mizoram, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh states of India.
