    What do you understand by shifting agriculture?

    Answer:

    Some tribes practice shifting agriculture. They clear a patch of the forest and cultivate the land. After a few years when the land loses its fertility, they move on and clear another area of the forest and use that for agriculture. This is also called slash and burn agriculture. This is because they often bum the vegetation to clear the land. Also, the ash was a natural fertilizer for the crops they grew.
