Women farmers in Xochimilco and San Gregorio are restoring chinampas (high-yield island farms) using canal-mud fertiliser, biofilters and invasive-fish barriers. The program has certified 16 producers and buffers floods, cools the city and shelters the axolotl. buff.ly/0gIJjxl

Women in Mexico step up to protect ancient Aztec farms and save a vanishing ecosystem
In Mexico, traditionally women did not inherit chinampas, island farms first built by the Aztecs thousands of years ago.

Brilliant and beautiful!
The Aztecs built Tenochtitlán (now Mexico City) on a lake. They made islands called ‘chinampas’ for their agriculture.

A few of these chinampas still exist. They are incredibly fertile.

The Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island invented rubber, selectively bred corn, and used chinampas to farm on water but you think that we didn't use boats?
The Chumash and Salish Peoples are known for their ancestral maritime knowledge. We just didn't use them in conquest.

Thank you for the clarification, although there is no evidence in the historical record that they used boats. Considering humans first developed in Africa and moved north and east.
Well, that and more than one ice age.

Essa técnica é conhecida como chinampas. São ilhas artificiais construídas com madeira entrelaçada e preenchida com terra e materiais orgânicos. Um vídeo dos hermanos mostrando um pouco

That’s *wonderful*!!
The Aztecs created floating gardens, or ‘chinampas’, for their agricultural needs. Tenochtitlán, the center of their empire was built on Lake Texcoco. It is now Mexico City.

Learn from the best of TEK like the chinampas while also "introducing contemporary concepts like Syntropic Agriculture, Agroforestry, and Permaculture. The chinampas are the last vestiges of the ancient agricultural system of the Aztec and pre-Aztec civilizations.

Tenochtitlan had a population ~300,000 & maybe 1,000,000 in the Mexico Valley. Famines occurred regularly despite chinampas technology (look up the Famine of One Rabbit).
You are not feeding the 22 million people in Mexico City using chinampas.

Please make Mexican Chinampas take over every river and lake possible 🦋🪻🌿🐞🦢🦆
Denmark, particularly in Copenhagen, has installed floating platforms/islands planted with wildflowers and native vegetation in its harbors and canals. These create safe urban habitats and sanctuaries for birds, bees, pollinators, insects, and even some aquatic life.

🇲🇽 Women in Mexico are preserving ancient Aztec ecosystems!
’Chinampas’ are island farms built thousands of years ago. A growing group of women are buying land to help preserve these rare ecosystems that are threatened by over development, tourism and pollution.

Another phenomenal panorama by Ola Apenes from the archive of the Etnografiska museet. This time from the Cerro de la Estrella, in much higher quality. It shows a network of canals, chinampas, and various towns.

The Aztecs made these in Tenochtitlán, now Mexico City, in the fifteenth century. They still have these ‘chinampas’ in the floating gardens of Xochimilco.

Passou um video de IA na minha frente mostrando "o cotidiano asteca em Tenochtitlán" e a pirâmide que aparecia o tenpo todo era o Templo de Kukulkã de Chichén Itza e os chinampas (as ilhas artificiais pra plantação) eram umas folha na beira de um rio 😭😭😭

The Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island invented rubber, selectively bred corn, and used chinampas to farm on water but you think that we didn't use boats?
The Chumash and Salish Peoples are known for their ancestral maritime knowledge. We just didn't use them in conquest.
