    Solution

    Shifting cultivation involves clearing a patch of land by cutting down and burning vegetation. The burned vegetation provides nutrients to the soil, creating a fertile area for planting crops. The cultivated area is used for a few years until the soil fertility declines, after which the land is left fallow and allowed to regenerate through natural processes.
