Answer 2

Answer:

Jhum cultivation also called slash and burn agriculture is a form of crop-growing farming activity.  In this type of cultivation, crops are grown by clearing the trees and other vegetation and then burning the fields. The burning of land allows the addition of potassium to the soil, which in effect increases soil fertility and nutrient content.  In the North-East states, agriculture is primarily based on Jhum cultivation.

This practice is considered an important way of food production for a considerable population in northeast India. In States like Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Tripura and Manipur, this type of cultivation is done.
