The Rise, Fall, and Possible Rise of Maslin Agriculture

For thousands of years, farmers didn’t plant just one crop; they planted many together in the same field. This practice, known as maslin agriculture, once fed entire populations and offered a built-in defense against famine and failure. Then, almost everywhere, it vanished. But today, as modern agriculture faces new challenges, this ancient method is quietly making a comeback. Learn more about Maslin Agriculture in this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
