A proposito di questo titolo

Lucas and Luna explore the ingenious agricultural systems that sustained the Inca Empire, from the terraced mountainsides of Machu Picchu to the experimental farm at Moray. They delve into the engineering of irrigation canals, the use of freeze-dried potatoes and chuño, the role of quinoa and maize, and the state's redistributive economy. The episode also examines how the Incas adapted to altitude, climate, and soil conditions, and how their food systems reflected social hierarchy and ritual. Along the way, they touch on the controversial question of whether Inca farming was truly sustainable or pushed the land to its limits.
