Answer 1

Answer:

Shifting cultivation is a mode of farming long followed in the humid tropics of Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America.

Answer 2

Answer:

Shifting cultivation, also known as the slash and burn agriculture (or Jhum cultivation), is the process of growing crops by first clearing the land of trees and vegetation and burning them thereafter. The burnt soil contains potash which increases the nutrient content of the soil. This burnt land is left for 5-8 years, so as to give the soil the time to regain its fertility . It was practised by the nomads in the north- eastern states of India .
