With reference to ‘slash and burn’ agriculture, which of the following names is NOT related to Odisha?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Roca.
Roca is not related to Odisha in the context of ‘slash and burn’ agriculture. Slash and burn farming, also known as shifting cultivation, involves clearing forested land by cutting and burning vegetation to create fields for temporary farming. In Odisha, local names for this practice include Pama Dabi, Koman, and Bringa. Such methods are usually practised by tribal communities in hilly and forested areas. Roca, however, is associated with shifting cultivation in Mizoram, not Odisha, making it the correct answer in this context.
