This is, however, not an isolated incident as burning forests to create land for agriculture is an age-old practice. Slash and burn agriculture is a widely-used method in which wild or forested land is cleared by cutting trees and any remaining veg- etation is burnt. The resulting ash is said to provide the newly-cleared land with a nutrient-rich layer that acts as a fertiliser for the crops.
