Figure 1. Shifting cultivation area of the longhouse, Nanga Tapih, Betong Division, Sarawak, Malaysia. From a livelihood perspective, all the specified land uses are considered part of the shifting cultivation system. The pepper fields are likely to eventually be left fallow and included in the shifting cultivation rotation system, and the plots that are currently used for rubber or fruit trees are likely to eventually be slashed and burned and used for rice at the end of the life cycle of the trees (or if other factors encourage this conversion).
