Explanation:
We discourage shifting cultivation because it includes the slash and burn method in which the standing vegetation is burnt down to create a land for growing another crop in which the land do not able to grow the crops again.
Forest Department personnel tried to use their knowledge of forestry to stop or reduce shifting cultivation by bringing the land under forest cover. For this, they implemented schemes like Social Forestry and National Afforestation Programme for tree plantations on jhum lands.
The major disadvantage of Shifting Cultivation is that many trees in the forest are cut and this increases soil infertility and leads to soil erosion.
