People have relied on low tech (high tech when you consider the scale of
their endeavors, like the rice terraces) methods of producing food,
forage and fiber for thousands of years. Farmers growing rice in
mountainside terraces in the Phillipines use the off-season or fallow
time to grow fish in the flooded terraces. They leave tied up bundles of
rice straw in the ponds for fertilizer and marine organism breeding
ground. They harvest fish and gain soil fertility in the terraces.

on PBase somewhere. Some of the best collections of images and writing
on rural cultures of the world exist at this remarkable site.
