Similar to slash and burn, farmers choose a farm site and cut down the trees and woody plants on the site
When the trees are dry, they are burned, the ash produced from nutrient-rich plant can make the soil fertile
After a certain piece of land has been cultivated for a period of time and its fertility has declined, it is left fallow, while other land is chosen for cultivation
After the fertility of original soil has recovered, the land will be re-cultivated
