Answer 2

Answer:

Shifting cultivation is a type of farming activity in which a plot of land is cleared by

cutting down trees and burning them. The ashes are then mixed with the soil and crops

are grown. After the land has lost its fertility, it is abandoned. The farmers then move to

a new place.

This type of farming has the following disadvantages.

● It leads to deforestation.

● The land used loses its fertility after some time

● It also leads to soil erosion

● Burning of trees causes air pollution

● Crops are cultivated on small plots of land which is insufficient for feeding a large

population.
