Shifting cultivation is a method of farming in which a patch of ground is cultivated for a period of time until the soil is partly exhausted or over run by weeds and after that the land is left to natural vegetation while cultivation is carried elsewhere.European regarded this practise as harmful for forests because:
-forests were cut down first and a particular are was cultivated
-it damaged the fertility of soil.
-european foresters regarded this practise as harmful as they felt that the land used after shifting cultivation cannot be used to grow timber from which they made railway track.
-the government found difficulty in collecting the taxes as the producers did not be in the same piece of land for more than 3-4 years.
-they also argued that buring of food and clearing the land had a threat to set on fire the whole forest
thus the european foresters regarded this practise as harmful for the forests.
