(E) Multi-cropping is a characteristic of shifting cultivation.

Shifting cultivation is an agricultural process of rotationally cultivating crops by burning an area of land and leaving it to regenerate for a few years. This process of cultivation is mostly found in tropical and subtropical areas.

  • Agriculture is the practice of planting crops for consumption.
  • It is this practice that first began with early men and their attempts to survive.
  • Shifting cultivation is one method of cultivation or farming where a piece of land is left to regenerate after a batch of cultivation.
  • In this process, a piece of land is used for one growing season and then the cultivation is moved to another land.
  • This means that after a particular land is used for cultivation, it is burned after the harvest and then left to 'recoup' nutrients to be used for the next.  
  • One characteristic of shifting cultivation is that multiple crops can or are cultivated in the same land in one growing season.
  • This means that a farmer may plant multiple crops on the land without specifically focusing on one particular crop.

The cultivation of crops produces food for us. And in that process of planting, there can be numerous ways or patterns of cultivation. And when a used land is left to 'recover' to be used for another growing season, this means a shift in cultivated land. And in such a method, multi-cropping is one form where different and multiple crops are planted at the same time. Thus, the correct answer is option E.
