Shfiting cultivation is the practice of farming by clearing land for farming by slashing vegetation and burning debris; also when farmers use land for a short period of time until soil is depleted, moves crops to new plot of land to allow for soil recovery.
It is also known as Slash and Burn. This cultivation technique is mostly practiced in wet, tropical climate regions.
