Shifting cultivation, also known as the slash and burn agriculture (Jhum cultivation), is the process of growing crops by first clearing the land of trees and vegetation and burning them thereafter. The burnt soil contains potash which increases the nutrient content of the soil. This burnt land is left for 5-8 years, so as to give the soil the time to regain its fertility .

So, the correct option is 'Jhum cultivation'
