Detailed Solution

The feature of slash and burn agriculture is that it is practised by the tribal communities in India. Slash and burn is a primitive subsistence farming and is still practised in some parts of India among the tribal communities. In this, farmers clear a piece of land and cultivate cereals and other crops for self-consumption. They continue cultivating the land till the soil fertility reduces. Then the farmers shift the cultivation to a new piece of land and allow the previous land to replenish nutrients and increase fertility naturally.
