The dominant cropping system in Mizoram is:

Intensive irrigated agriculture
Rainfed agriculture
Shifting cultivation (Jhum)
Plantation agriculture

The correct answer is: c) Shifting cultivation (Jhum).

Shifting cultivation, also known as slash-and-burn agriculture, is a traditional agricultural system in which the land is cleared by cutting and burning the vegetation, and then the ashes are used to fertilize the soil. The land is then cultivated for a few years, after which it is left fallow for several years to allow the forest to regenerate.

Shifting cultivation is a sustainable agricultural system that has been practiced for centuries by indigenous peoples around the world. However, it is under threat from deforestation, development, and climate change.

Intensive irrigated agriculture is a type of agriculture that uses large amounts of water to irrigate crops. This type of agriculture is often used in areas with low rainfall, such as deserts.

Rainfed agriculture is a type of agriculture that relies on rainfall for water. This type of agriculture is often used in areas with high rainfall, such as tropical rainforests.

Plantation agriculture is a type of agriculture in which large areas of land are used to grow a single crop. This type of agriculture is often used to grow crops for export, such as coffee, tea, and bananas.
