Modern 
Farming
Modernization has changed the face of agriculture although 
traditional agriculture is still prevalent in different parts of 
the world. Traditional agriculture uses primitive knowledge, 
traditional tools and organic fertilizers whereas modern 
farming uses technically advanced tools and machineries.

Slash And Burn 
Agriculture
In slash and burn agriculture, a forested land is cleared of its 
vegetation which is then burned on the same land.  The layer of ash 
that is formed after burning the vegetation enriches the soil with 
nutrients and the land is used for cultivating different crop varieties. 
After some years of cultivation, the land will be depleted of its 
nutrients after which it is abandoned to allow the natural vegetation 
to regrow and the soil regains its nutrients.

Agroforestry
The practice of mixing trees with crops began before 
thousands of years. The technique aims to exploit the 
ecological interactions of different components within 
the forest and cropland. Experts are promoting the 
practice of agroforestry, as it is a climate smart practice 
that improves food security and crop productivity.

Crop Rotation
In crop rotation technique, a sequence of plant species 
is grown on the same land. Cultivating same crop in a 
large area of land referred to as monocropping leads to 
decline in soil quality and climate change. Hence 
experts suggest crop rotation as an alternative 
cropping method.

Monocropping
Growing a single crop in a given piece of land is 
referred to as monocropping. The land has to be 
tilled in the same style as the same type of crops 
are planted, thereby making the cultivation 
process easy.
