This is a slideshow about how we started to cultivate an ancient relationship with plants going way way back in time. We travel from native California to the terra preta of the Amazon to the highlands of the Andes to the three sisters peoples of the Americas to the north south divide of China and modern industrialized chemicized agriculture and organic agriculture too that feeds the worlds people today. Tucked in there we give thanks to pioneer farmers and inventors like Henry Ford, John Froelich, John Deere, Jethro Tull (not the rock band the person) and others who sent us down the path of the motor and engine. In this way you see the connections that bind us and the changes over time. Also, we follow the trajectory of the primary carb plants of civilization through the ages from acorns to yucca to potatoes to corn to rice to wheat and everything else that keep us going day to day. Plants!!!
