Shifting cultivation is an agricultural system in which plots of land are cultivated temporarily, then abandoned. This system often involves clearing of a piece of land followed by several years of wood harvesting or farming, until the soil loses fertility.
Europeans regarded shifting cultivation was harmful for the forests -
They felt that the forest burnt would destroy timber and the danger of the flames would spread and burn valuable timber.
shifting cultivation made it harder for the government to calculate taxes so British government decided to ban shifting cultivation.
