Rainforest agriculture refers to farming practices that take place in or near tropical rainforests. This type of agriculture often includes the cultivation of crops like cacao, coffee, and rubber, which thrive in the warm, humid conditions of these ecosystems. Farmers may use methods such as shifting cultivation, where land is cleared and farmed for a few years before being left to regenerate. However, rainforest agriculture can lead to deforestation and habitat loss if not managed sustainably. Practices like slash-and-burn can degrade the environment, affecting biodiversity and contributing to climate change. Sustainable approaches aim to balance agricultural needs with the preservation of rainforest ecosystems.
