@Umesh.

Afforestation is planting of trees whereas deforestation is cutting of trees.

Shifting cultivation is an agricultural system in which plots of land are cultivated temporarily, then abandoned. This system often involves clearing of a piece of land followed by several years of wood harvesting or farming, until the soil loses fertility.
