Answer 2

Shifting cultivation--also known as slash-and-burn farming, is the predominant style of farming in many portions of the globe's humid tropics, supporting millions of families worldwide.

Shifting agriculture takes place predominantly in forest environments, and burning of the forest biomass in part provides nutrients for farming. The main feature of shifting agriculture is this--that a given plot of ground is farmed for a year or two and then is abandoned to secondary succession for a few to many years before again being felled and planted.

Sedentary agriculture, of farming on one plot of land, evolved from shifting agriculture, as the population grew to the point that there was not enough land available in an area to allow enough time between shifting plots by burning to be effective. Sedentary agriculture required permanently clearing the land, thus gradually eliminating the forest entirely in many areas.

Horticulture sometimes differs from agriculture in  a smaller scale of cultivation, using small plots of mixed crops rather than large field of single crops, and the cultivation of a wider variety of crops, often including fruit trees, berries, nuts, and vegetables.
