The land is then used for a few years, until the soil becomes depleted, and then it is abandoned and allowed to regenerate. Swidden is a common practice in many parts of the world, including Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America.<\/p>\n<p>Jhum is a type of swidden agriculture that is practiced in the state of Mizoram in India. Jhum cultivation is a complex system that involves a number of different steps. The first step is to clear a piece of land by cutting down the trees and shrubs. The vegetation is then burned, and the ashes are used to fertilize the soil.
