FALLOW at Political Glossary

What is it? the practice of leaving a field for one year (out of three) uncropped to recover its natural fertility. (Fields not fallowed must be given costly fertilizer each year. Desperate third world farmers often cannot afford fertilizer, and also cannot afford to leave a field fallow. Such fields will soon lose their fertility.)
