Subject: Re: Does anyone know of sustainable ag from antiquity? (fwd)

As an agroecologist and also agronomist I have made a study of ancient ag.
systems, and yes ,they were sustainable, until European contact,wiped most
of it out,including most of the farmers here in Hawaii, from disease. See
my Paper (abstract) on the IFOAM page which I presented in Copenhagen in
August. Go to my web page for links to my paper(IFOAM PAGES) "Ancient
Hawaiian Agriculture as a model for Sustainability" ,my studies include the
Maya of Belize,the Anastazi of the U.S. Southwest, and farming methods in
Egypt and Africa.
