China is a leader in conserving agricultural heritage systems. My visit with T. Guo led us to tea gardens in Yunnan province. What looks like an untended plantation is actually a smallholder-managed & incredibly diverse agroecosystem of tea intercropped with buckwheat, flax, maize, sweet potato etc.

fun fact organic produce are sometimes more susceptible to foodbourne pathogens because they have to use alternative methods to get rid of pests. like if you purposefully invite birds into the agroecosystem they have a higher chance of shitting all in the carrots and causing ecoli outbreaks
