Shifting cultivation is the type of farming in which agricultural activities are shifted from one field to another when the fertility of the soil of the former is diminished.

Disadvantages:

  • Deforestation
  • Soil erosion
  • Small patches for cultivation
  • Not sufficient for feeding a large population.
