Ancient North American Sustainable Farming

[ZealouslyStriving]

Interesting article that I believe has potential implications for the Heartland Model. I doubt they magically came up with sustainable farming techniques in 1000 ad- so the knowledge had to have been passed down to them.

 

Dartmouth professor’s study finds that farming was prevalent in ancient North America - The Dartmouth https://share.google/wYnOtPM4Augx3Csp3

Many sustainable agricultural practices were common in North and South America at the time. This isn’t an isolated practice they found. Just one they were interested in. The headline is pretty misleading. It suggests that this is an unexpected find and that similar agricultural practices weren’t widespread.

It doesn’t support that Nephites or Lamanites were there. The Book of Mormon also doesn’t say anything that indicates the presence or lack of sustainable agricultural practices in any case.

Um... it talks of farming by residents surrounding cities that were inhabited for centuries. 

What a most baffling claim.

The article talks about “surrounding villages”. I don’t find that baffling.
