The predominant system of agriculture among rural farmers in Nigeria is bush fallowing. Bush fallowing is a traditional agricultural system where farmers rotate their crops, leaving a field fallow or uncultivated for a period of time, usually several years, to allow the land to recover its fertility. This is done by cutting and burning the vegetation and allowing it to regrow. Bush fallowing is widely practiced in rural areas of Nigeria, where many farmers rely on traditional agricultural methods and have limited access to modern inputs and technologies. Terrace farming, irrigation farming, and plantation agriculture are other forms of agriculture, but they are not as prevalent in rural Nigeria as bush fallowing. Terrace farming involves the creation of terraces on sloping land to reduce erosion and increase the amount of cultivable land. Irrigation farming involves the use of irrigation systems to provide water to crops. Plantation agriculture is a large-scale farming system where crops are grown on a large piece of land for commercial purposes.
