Answer: Shifting cultivation
Notes: The correct answer is "Shifting cultivation." Shifting cultivation, also known as slash-and-burn agriculture, involves clearing a piece of land for farming and then moving to a new area once soil fertility declines. Jhoom (Northeast India), Onam (Kerala), Podu (Telangana), and Bewar (Madhya Pradesh) are traditional practices in India where farmers rotate fields to maintain soil health. This method is sustainable in low-density populations but can lead to deforestation if not managed properly.
