Shifting cultivation is the type of cultivation in which the farmers cut trees and clear the land for cultivation.They also burn the uprooted trees and mix their ashes in the soil so as to fertile the soil. After cultivation and harvesting they move on to other land and repeat the same process.As nomads they move from place to place for agriculture and for survival. But in this process, there are also chances of hazards like forest fires, and loss of fertility. If it is practiced in many parts of society, it is due to the fact that nomadic societies still exist and they follow the same traditional method of farming.
Hope this helps... (please give your suggestions...)..... :)

Shifting cultivation is still practiced in many parts of the world due to its adaptability to challenging environments and ability to provide a sustainable livelihood for communities. It allows for crop diversity and natural regeneration of land while meeting the basic needs of rural populations. However, the practice can lead to deforestation, soil degradation, and loss of biodiversity if not managed sustainably.

Shifting cultivation is when the physical and human environment work together. This is especially useful when the mass majority of the population are farmers. By shifting cultivation, this would help the used land for farming rejuvenate and get back the nutrients it has lost. Though this takes a long time, it still helps to recycle land and save resources.
