1973

Anthropological and ecological considerations regarding the transition of shifting cultivation in the tropics. African Soils, 18, 2, p. 59-68. In the tropics, population pressure may force a transition of the traditional shifting cultivation system to another cultivation system. Understanding the ecological, economic and social aspects of shifting cultivation can help to avoid costly mistakes if the system is to be modified or even completely changed. This article attempts to summarise pertinent ecological and anthropological information on two basic aspects of shifting cultivation, fallowing and burning, and outlines fields of anthropological research which can contribute to the progressive transition of shifting cultivators.
