Toads and Terraces
There are 3 different types of frontier human populations can exploit to continue surviving and thriving on this fine earth.
One is a geographic frontier, such as the continent of North America when the Bergingians first crossed the Bering straiot onto that land mass. There were no other human populations on that continent, and it was abundant with potential prey items. Jackpot!
The second is a transfer-of-resource frontier, such as when European colonists forcibly took land off the ancestors of those Beringians in North America, the indigenous Americans.
And the third is a technological frontier, where some technological innovation allows what was a previously unproductive patch of land to become productive. Terraces fall into this third category of frontier.
Terraces allow humans to grow crops on land where those same crops would otherwise find it difficult to establish themselves. The terraces also make for easier work for the human(s) tending that piece of land, since they don't have to work on an incline all day!
There are old ways of working the land that will once again become relevant in our lives.
Ww are alive in an unprecedented period of human history where our access to readily available, cheap, concentrated energy makes tasks that were once laborious and time-consuming much easier. Instead of working the fields with a hand hoe, we can hook up a tool to our tractor and work the field that way.
However, as that currently abundant supply of energy begins to dwindle, and gets doled out in unequitable ways across the globe, these old (pre-oil era) technologies could prove very useful!
