What is Primitive subsistence agriculture? Why is it called “slash and burn “agriculture?

Primitive Subsistence Farming is a type of farming which is practiced on small patches of land. Primitive tools and family/community labour are used in this type of farming. The farming mainly depends on monsoon and natural fertility of soil. This is also called 'slash and burn' agriculture.

In Primitive Subsistence Farming, farmers clear a patch of land and produce goods. When the soil fertility decreases, the farmers shift and clear a fresh patch of land for cultivation.So the soil fertility is replenish naturally. It is called ?slash and burn agriculture ?.

Hope this helps! :)
