Question

what is slash and burn agriculture

Answer 1

the growing of food, allows larger numbers of people to settle down, because it can produce far more food than what can be found in the wild. It also allows surpluses to be stored, leaving people less at the mercy of the environment. But the wild first needs to be tamed, and this was first done through slash and burn techniques.

Answer 2

Slash and burn agriculture is a widely used method of growing food in which wild or forested land is clear cut and any remaining vegetation burned. The resulting layer of ash provides the newly-cleared land with a nutrient-rich layer to help fertilize crops.
