Detailed Solution

Milpa is shifting cultivation in Central America. Milpa/swidden/shifting cultivation is a customary farming method in this area. A patch of forest land is cleared by shifting cultivators, exploiting it for agriculture until it loses its fertility. Then they plant a variety of crops, including maize and beans. Governments and foresters, however, consider this to be a detrimental practice. Trees are burned during shifting agriculture to cleanse the soil and improve fertility. The fire threatens the area and raises the possibility of losing priceless tree and vegetation varieties.
