"Terraquaculture

Terraquaculture is the practice of farming living water flowing
through the landscape. It is the traditional farming system of the
Asia-Pacific region where it has been practiced for thousands of years
and is arguably the only truly sustainable farming system.

Terraquaculture is natural farming without imported energy,
agro-chemicals or irrigation infrastructure. Despite the absence of
these modern agricultural "improvements" terraqueous systems are often
highly productive."
