Question

What is the difference between jhoom and terrace farming ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Terrace farming

• Graduated terrace steps are commonly used to farm on hilly or mountainous terrain.

jhoom farming

• In jhoom farming a land is left as it is after growing crops on  it for some period of time (such as five  years) to regain its lost fertility. Some cultivators do not just leave the land as it is, they cut and then burn the trees and plants to make the soil regain its  fertility. The ashes that come from the trees would help in providing nutrients to soil.
