Primitive subsistence agriculture is also known as shifting cultivation because the tribes keep shifting to new patches of land. The vegetation is usually cleared by fire, and the ashes add to the fertility of the soil. Shifting cultivation is thus, also called slash and burn agriculture. It is known as jhum cultivation in north-eastern India. |
