Question

What is shifting Cultivation? what are its disadvantages?​

Answer 1

Hey mate....

Here's the answer of your question...

A plot of land is cleared by feeling the trees and burning them. The ashes are then mixed with the soil and crops like maize, yam, potatoes and cassava are grown. When the soil losses its fertility, the land is abandoned and the cultivator moves to a new plot. Shifting cultivation is also known as 'slash and burn' agriculture.

Hope it helped you....
