Why is shifting cultivation not an advisable practise today?

Shifting cultivation is often not advisable today due to its environmental impact, including deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and soil degradation. As populations grow and land becomes scarcer, the practice can lead to unsustainable land use and diminished agricultural productivity. Additionally, modern agricultural practices and technologies provide more efficient and sustainable alternatives that can better support food security. The increasing pressures of climate change also make traditional shifting cultivation methods less viable in many regions.
