Question

what is shifting cultivation? what are its disadvantage? ​

Answer 1

Shifting agriculture

Shifting cultivation is the form of agriculture in which a plot of land is cleared by felling the trees and burning them. The ashes are then mixed with the soil and crops are grown. After the soil loses its fertility, the land is abandoned and the cultivator moves to a new plot.

Disadvantages

In shifting cultivation, trees in the forests are cut. This increases soil infertility and leads to soil erosion.
