    Shifting cultivation, also known as slash-and-burn agriculture, is a farming method where plots of land are used temporarily before being abandoned and allowed to revert to their natural state. It involves cutting and burning forests or woodlands to create fields, planting crops for a few years until soil fertility declines, then cutting a new plot while the previous plot recovers. While it provides short term agricultural yields and regenerates soil nutrients, shifting cultivation can lead to deforestation and loss of biodiversity if plots are not left to fully recover.
