Century-old jhum cultivation in crisis

The crisis facing jhum in the Chattogram Hill Tracts is not merely a crisis of an agricultural system. Available land is shrinking, cultivation cycles are becoming shorter, indigenous seeds are disappearing, climate uncertainty is increasing, and younger generations are moving into other professions. At the same time, the expansion of fruit orchards and market-oriented agriculture is transforming the hill economy.
