It is that type of agriculture in which farmers clear the forest land and use it for growing crops. The crops are grown for 2 to 3 years, and when the fertility of the soil decreases, the farmer shifts to a new land. Dry paddy, maize, millets and vegetables are the crops commonly grown in this type of farming.
It is being discouraged because :
(i) This leads to deforestation.
(ii) The per hectare yield is very low.

In shifting cultivation, a part of the forest land was cleared, trees were burnt and their ashes were sprinkled on the field. Seeds were sown and crops were grown. After cultivating the land for about two to three years, it was left fallow for few years for the forests to grow back. Another patch of forests was then cleared for the purpose of cultivation.
