Agriculture is the backbone of Mizoram’s state economy as the majority of the people use agriculture and its allied sector as their livelihood. According to the 2011 census, more than 50% of the people are still engaged in agriculture and its related activities. Jhum cultivation or shifting cultivation is the primary farming pattern in the state. However, this traditional farming method is no longer effective and productive, due to various reasons such as resource limitations due to population pressure, and a shortened jhum cycle period of 3-4 years (i.e., the ideal cycle is 14-18).
