Question
Examine the type of farming in Nagaland.
✓
Answer
There is a village called ‘Chizami’ which is in ‘Phek’ district of Nagaland. They are experts in terrace cultivation. It is also the main occupation of the people. In this type of farming, the land on the hill slopes is made flat and steps are made on it. The sides of each plot or field are raised in order to retain water. This allows water to stand in the field, which is very good for rice cultivation. On many hill tops another type of cultivation called jhum, is also practised. In jhum, which means ‘shifting cultivation’, millets, maize and French beans are also raised.
