Shifting cultivation

Traditional agricultural practice where farmers clear land by cutting and burning vegetation, then use the land to grow crops for a few years until soil fertility declines. This method involves a cycle of land use and fallow periods, allowing the land to regenerate its natural vegetation over time. Shifting cultivation is typically practiced by indigenous and small-scale farmers in tropical rainforest regions.
