Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shifting cultivation, also known as slash-and-burn agriculture, is a traditional form of agriculture practiced in many parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. In this form of agriculture, farmers clear a patch of land by cutting and burning vegetation, then cultivate crops for a few years until the soil becomes depleted, after which they move on to clear another patch of land. This cycle is repeated in a rotational manner, allowing the previously cleared land to regenerate over time.
