Correct Answer: Taungya system


Solution : The correct option is Taungya system.

Taungya system refers to growing agricultural crops between rows of planted trees. This practise blends tree cultivation with farming activities to increase soil health and overall sustainability. It is an agroforestry practise in which agricultural crops are grown in the early phases of forest plantation to ensure food security for local residents and to aid in the establishment of trees. Jhum, also known as shifting cultivation, is clearing and burning a section of ground for agriculture before abandoning it and allowing it to regenerate naturally. The goal of social forestry is to engage people in the planting and management of trees on non-forest land to satisfy their fuelwood, feed, and timber requirements while also supporting environmental protection.
