what are the advantages of shifting cultivation

 Shifting cultivation is when the physical and human environment work together. This is especially useful when the mass majority of the population are farmers. By shifting cultivation, this would help the used land for farming rejuvenate and get back the nutrients it has lost. Though this takes a long time, it still helps to recycle land and save resources.

Shifting cultivation is when the physical and human environment work together. This is especially useful when the mass majority of the population are farmers. By shifting cultivation, this would help the used land for farming rejuvenate and get back the nutrients it has lost. Though this takes a long time, it still helps to recycle land and save resources.

Advantage:
- More amount of sunlight reaches the ground.
- Environmentally friendly because it is organic farming.
- It is often a form of weed control.

- it can play a part in pest management.
- It may reduce the incidence of soil-borne diseases.

it is practised in the thickly forested areas of Amazon basin, tophical Africa, parts of south east Asia an north east India. Shifting agriculture is also known as 'slash and burn' agricaulture. Farmers clear a plot of land by felling trees and burning them. The ashes are mixed with the soil, and crops like maize, yam, potatoes and cassava are grown. when the soil fertility decreases, the farmers shift and clear a fresh patch of land for cultivation. lan production inthis type of farming is low, as the farmers do not use fertilizers and other inputs. it is known by different names in different parts of the world -- Jhuming in north eastern states of India, milpa in Mexico, Roca in Brazil, Ladang in Malaysia and Ray in Vietnam

When you cultivate a crop the plants take some nutrients out of the soil, and put some into the soil. Shifting cultivation helps to keep a good amount of diverse nutrients in the soil.
One crop might take all of the nitrates out of the soil so after a year or two you have no nitrates in that area and the plant will not grow well. This is when you would either leave that area alone for a few years or plant a crop that puts nitrates back into the soil. Crop rotation is key in large-scale, long term operations.
