Shifting Cultivation is an agricultural system in which plots of lands are cultivated temporarily, then abandoned and allowed to revert to their natural vegetation while the cultivator moves onto other plot. The period of cultivation is usually, terminated when the soil shows signs of exhaustion or more commonly when the field is overrun by weeds. The length of the time that the field is usually cultivated is usually shorter.
