Q1: What is slash and burn practice?
View Answer
Ans:
Slash and burn is a way of cultivating land where farmers clear a piece of land by slashing or cutting down trees and bushes. These are then burnt which releases the nutrients into the soil. Now crops are grown in the cleared field for o few years. After repeatedly using the patch of land, the soil looses its nutrients. So it is abandoned then they clear another plot of land to plant. In the mean time young trees grow in the old field. In this way soil fertility is restored.
