slash-and-burn agriculture

Slash-and-burn agriculture, sometimes known as swiddening or shifting cultivation,involves felling trees and vegetation on a plot of land, leaving them to dry, and then setting fire to them. Crops planted on the plot benefit from the nutrients provided by the ash. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Agriculture, Slash-and-Burn]
