Explain about transferred or relocated agriculture.
The type of farming which is done after clearing the forests and burning the wood is known as transferred agriculture. This type of agriculture is mainly done by the tribals of India. The soil is made fertile by the ash which is left after burning. Farming can be done only when the fertility of the soil is ensured.
This type of farming is also called Jhooming agriculture. In this type, crops are grown for one year or season, and after that, it is left to regain its fertility. During this period, the people relocate to another place for farming.
This type of farming can be seen in Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Mizoram.
