The Southeast Asia Haze refers to the smoke from the slash-and-burn agriculture that occurs each year in Southeast Asia. Slash-and-burn refers to the practice of clearing land by burning vegetation, often for agricultural purposes such as farming or plantation expansion. This practice releases smoke and pollutants into the air, leading to a haze that affects several countries in the region.
