shifting agriculture
Shifting agriculture, also known as slash-and-burn or swidden farming, is a traditional agricultural practice where farmers periodically move to new areas of land to cultivate crops. This method involves clearing a plot of land, burning vegetation, and then planting crops in the nutrient-rich ashes. After a few years, as soil fertility declines, farmers move to a new location, allowing the previous area to regenerate naturally.
While shifting agriculture has sustained communities for generations, it can pose environmental challenges such as deforestation and soil degradation. Efforts are being made to promote sustainable alternatives and integrate modern agricultural practices to balance the needs of local communities with environmental conservation. The goal is to find a harmonious approach that ensures food security while preserving biodiversity and protecting ecosystems.
