What if the most efficient food system in human history wasn’t modern at all but ancient?
For hundreds of thousands of years, humans survived on food systems that returned 20 calories for every calorie of effort. Then we abandoned them.
In this documentary-style video, we explore:
Why hunter-gatherer societies were incredibly energy-efficient
How modern industrial agriculture uses 10 calories of fossil fuel to produce just 1 calorie of food
The forgotten genius of the Aztec chinampas floating gardens that once fed one of the world’s largest cities
Why these systems were abandoned, and what that decision is costing us today
From the lakes of ancient Mexico to today’s fossil-fuel-dependent farms, this video questions everything we think we know about efficiency, progress, and food security.
As climate change, water shortages, and soil degradation threaten global food supplies, the answers may not lie in futuristic technology but in ancient systems designed to work with nature, not against it.
🌱 This is not about going back in time.
It’s about relearning what we forgot.
