Dry Crops Adapt oleh Brook Clearwater

Dry Crops Adapt explores the climate-resilient agriculture of the Hopi people, demonstrating how their traditional ecological knowledge offers solutions for sustainable food systems in the face of climate change. The book highlights the ingenuity of dry farming techniques developed over centuries in arid environments.

One intriguing aspect is their sophisticated soil conservation strategies, which maintain soil fertility and prevent erosion, crucial for long-term sustainability.

The book examines specific Hopi agricultural practices, like drought-resistant crops, through scientific analysis, blending ethnographic research with modern understanding of Earth Sciences. It progresses from introducing Hopi history and culture to detailing their farming methods and exploring the potential for adapting these methods in other regions.

By connecting indigenous knowledge with contemporary science, Dry Crops Adapt provides a unique and valuable perspective for environmental stewardship and climate change adaptation in modern agriculture.
