The practice of "Swidden" agriculture is present in Asia, Africa, and S. America. Shifting farming, also known as swidden agriculture, is a historic technique used in many areas in Asia, Africa, and South America. The primary attributes of Swidden farming are as follows: Periodically, forests are chopped down and burned. In the ashes, seeds are sown after the first monsoon rains.
