Correct Answer: slash and burn agriculture


Solution : The correct answer is slash-and-burn agriculture.

Jhum cultivation, or shifting cultivation, is also known as slash-and-burn agriculture. Jhum cultivation is generally practised by tribal groups in the northeastern region of India. In this type of agriculture, the area is first cleared of trees and vegetation and then burned after that, so it is known as slash-and-burn agriculture.
