DESCRIPTION
Shifting cultivation is regarded as a first step in transition from food gathering and hunting to food production and is widespread in the hills and mountains of North-East India. This is an extensive method of agriculture in which farmers rotate land rather than crops to sustain livelihoods. Despite persistent efforts by official agencies to control shifting cultivation, there is no sign of let-up in its spread, which is an pervasive as it was ever before.
