All the following are advantages of the bush fallowing system in West Africa except that it
Answer Details
The bush fallowing system is an agricultural practice used in West Africa where farmers clear a plot of land, cultivate it for a few years, and then allow it to lay fallow for a period of time to regain its fertility before clearing and cultivating another plot. This system has several advantages, including allowing the land to regain its fertility during fallow, being very economical in the use of land, and reducing the need for the use of artificial fertilizers. However, one disadvantage of the bush fallowing system is that it could lead to soil erosion. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option D: "could lead to soil erosion."
