Expert Answer
In Jhum cultivation, farmers clear the trees of the forest area and burn the plant remains. The ash of the burnt vegetation contains minerals and is used as fertiliser. The land is then used for farming or cattle grazing. After cultivation, the farmers move to another area and this process is repeated. This practice has caused major deforestation in north eastern states of India.
