I think indigenous agriculture can be preserved simply by un-industrial farmers and gardeners performing the same methods of indigenous cultures. If indigenous methods can escape their original culture and be used by the greater population they can survive in modern culture. We can adapt to changing climates by monitoring the change in climate and influence our new methods by those that thrived in the new climate we will be in. Our actions can also be used to selectively breed plants so they are better suited to the new climate. What stood out to me was how sophisticated and advanced these cultures agricultures are and how much thought went into individual methods. It is also awesome to learn about these culture's agriculture and compare it to methods used by Europeans and see how boring those methods are, or maybe I just see them as boring because they are standard to me. I'm wondering why with automation our agriculture has become very standardized and there isn't much variation in mechanized farming like how there is in indigenous farming.
