Zoom farming
Details

Shifting cultivation is a mountainous mixed agricultural agrarian system known among the small ethnic groups living in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. There was a time when this zam farming was the only way of livelihood among the people of this region. Due to geographical location, people of this area have cultivated the same level of cultivation as zodiac cultivation. It is a medium of traditional traditions. Although there are many changes due to the globalization of the modern world, zum cultivation is still the best way to live and livelihood for many people here. Usually the land is selected for zoom cultivation. Once the people of the village would cultivate zum in some places, there would be more rice and palms in the hills and less weed and disease would be discussed, after going through one hill and other mountains to choose zoom. They selected a sign in the selected place that they would be zoomed in this place or hill. After the zoom selection, zoom cut or jungle cut is cleansed during the month of Phagun-Chaitra. When the blaze is set on the end of the month of the month, if the ashes are mixed in the first rain of Baishakh, then there is rice, chilli, sesame, turmeric Varieties of cottonseed, pumpkin, potato, corn, brinjal and other kinds of vegetable seeds are weighed in soil. In this way, it is done to make the weeds clear, timely to clear the crop from the seed planted.


Once the jumbo crop grew, the hill jumiyaar filled with joy. Generally, turmeric, corn, brinjal, potato, chilli, and some of the other crops are also quick. Zumiyara picked them up in the market for sale. Then, after the start of rice in Bhadra-Ashwin, the mind of the zamydah got overwhelmed. The festival begins at home. But the biggest festival is the time to eat new rice (paddy) and the new rice rice (new rice). During this time, Nabanna organized cooking for its own culture, and invited the neighbors and relatives in the house as much as possible. In Chakma and Tanchangya society, they are heard singing together with Genguli, a traditional singer who wakes up all night with the stories of her own culture. On the mountain it is known as Ginguli Geet.


In spite of this, after harvesting rice, jumbo used to go to some crops such as cotton, sesame, chilli and other crops. If these are time-friendly contingents, then zoom farmers bring it to market. In this way, zum cultivation ends in less than a year, and by eating them, ordinary zamyas will dream of zooming in hopes of a better crop in the next year.


For years such a year, zum cultivation has been going on in traditional way among the minority communities of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. It is said that zum cultivation is mixed with the lives of mountainous people here.
