Detailed Solution

Jhumming is the popularised name by which slash and burn agriculture is known in the North-Eastern states.
Slash and Burn is an agricultural farming type done by the primitive societies of different regions. In this, a small portion of land in a forest is cleared out to cultivate food crops and cereals. The farmers subsequently move to new pieces of land as the soil's fertility decreases.
The following characteristics are:
  • The capital investment requirement is shallow.
  • As primitive tools like hoe are used to perform it, the labour force consists primarily of family members.
  • It depends upon rainfall to fulfil water requirements
  • Known by different names: Dipa in Chhattisgarh, Kuruwa in Jharkhand.
