Autores ResumoThe term "shifting cultivation" refers to farming or agricultural systems in which a short cultivation phase on land that has been cleared and burned alternates with a long fallow period. The cultivation technique is often referred to as "slash and burn agriculture." Some of the local names that have been given to this type of agriculture in South America are roça in Brazil, conuco in Venezuela, and, chacra in Peru (Savage et al. 1982).
