Abstract

Shifting cultivation, deeply ingrained in Nagaland's culture, is a complex agricultural practice that continues to thrive despite modernization. This study presents a comparative analysis of four key districts in Nagaland—Dimapur, Kohima, Zunheboto, and Mokokchung—based on a range of social, economic, environmental, and policy-related criteria. The results reveal the multifaceted factors that contribute to the persistence of shifting cultivation in the region and emphasize its importance for the people of Nagaland.
