Abstract

Shifting cultivation (also known as swiddening or slash-and-burn) is a system of agriculture in which fields are cleared from forest and planted in crops for a short time. The field is then allowed to revert to natural processes for a long period of time, when grasses, shrubs and eventually trees reoccupy the site.
