    Solution

    Shifting cultivation, also known as slash-and-burn agriculture, is a type of subsistence farming where forests are cleared, the land is farmed for a few years until the soil's fertility declines, and then the farmer moves to a new area. This method is traditionally used by indigenous communities for self-sustenance rather than commercial purposes.
