Papers from arXiv.org

Abstract: By studying the Inca Empire's agricultural accomplishments, we learn how ancient civilizations adapted to their circumstances, used natural resources effectively, and sustained agriculture for millennia. This understanding affects global food production systems as we face land degradation, climate change, and sustainable farming. Inca terrace farming is a sustainable and innovative food production method still relevant today. By studying the past and applying its ideas to modern agriculture, we can make global food production more sustainable and resilient. Keywords: Inca Empire, Terrace farming, Agricultural innovation, Food production, ancient civilizations, Crop diversity
