Since nobody answered this I am editing the question... from asking if anyone teaches courses on indigenous agriculture, to why are we not teaching anything about indigenous agriculture. In many cases in the world high yields have been sustained for thousands of years, and the amount of knowledge and technology that has been acquired in these systems in enormous. And yet we engage these concepts almost not at all within academic settings, and focus instead on an entirely new concept of agriculture that has emerged only within the last few hundred years. Why, and how can we overcome this?
