It is called slash & burn.
Deep filling of the land adds oxygen to the soil to aid proper decomposition of organic matter.

Nice.
I wish I had learned more about gardening from my grandfather.
He was the only farmer in his area, during the Depression, that did lose his top soil because he knew how to plant trees around his property.
He also grew the biggest vegetables in his area.
