Detailed Solution

The local name of Shifting cultivation in central America is Milpa.
Shifting cultivation or swidden agriculture was one of the main effects of European colonialism. This is a common agricultural technique in many regions of South America, Africa, and Asia. Landing in Southeast Asia, milpa in Central America, chimenea or tavy in Africa, and chena in Sri Lanka are only a few of its various regional names. India's regional names for swidden agriculture are day, panda, beware, Nevada, jhum, podu, khanda, and kumari. As changing agriculture made it harder for the government to collect taxes, the colonial lords outlawed it. Many communities were compelled to flee the woodlands as a result. Some were forced to join the alternative jobs in the cities, while others rebelled against colonial rule.
