Shifting cultivation is also known as slash and burn agriculture. In this type of agriculture, trees are cut and then burnt. The ash is mixed with the soil to increase fertility. Crops are then grown. The land is abandoned once it loses its fertility and the farmers move to a new plot of land.
Disadvantages:
1.Leads to deforestation
2.Burning of trees causes pollution
3.Cutting down of trees causes soil erosion
4.Loss of fertility of land
