Argument 1: Shifting cultivation is a wasteful practice. The statement in itself is vague and ill-defined. One cannot demarcate why it should not be practised & why it is wasteful.
On the contrary, it is practised heavily in several parts of India And let's gain the fertility of the soil naturally.
So Neither of the Argument strongly holds.
