En los ecosistemas andinos y amazónicos los tiempos de descanso de las tierras son más prolongados que el plazo legal fijado. Es por esto que las poblaciones indígenas tienen miedo de que les quiten las tierras si dejan de trabajarlas por 2 años consecutivos.

set-aside period
"Fallow" is indeed correct, however the EU calls these "set-aside periods" when they are quasi-obligatory.
Set-aside is a term for land that farmers are not allowed to use for any agricultural purpose. It was introduced by the EEC in 1992 as part of a package of reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy to prevent over production. It applies only to farmers growing crops.
