🔆Local name of slash and burn cultivation
Jhum cultivation
✅Jhum Cultivation in India
Jhum cultivation is a traditional shifting cultivation technique.
✅Jhum cultivation in India is mainly practiced by indigenous communities in North East India. It includes areas near Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Mizoram.
✅The farmers practicing Jhum cultivation are known as Jhumias.
✅They cut down trees in January and then burn them while the saplings, bamboo, and wood are sun-dried and then burned in March or April, leaving the land clear and suitable for cultivation.
✅In addition, Bengalis in the Chittagong hill areas of Bangladesh practice this type of farming for many years in the month of Baishakh and Jyeshtha.
✅However, this practice of jhum cultivation cannot be practiced annually (due to drought and other natural reasons).
▪️Drawback :
✅Deforestation
✅Infertility of the soil
✅Flooding of rivers
✅Loss of flora and fauna
✅Soil Erosion
