So, even if we’re in a future form of humanity and all of our present farming methods failed, sowing seeds and harvesting crops would be the first kind of farming to be “restored” or “rediscovered” or whatever, because it’s vastly more efficient, and assuming you’re recovering from some sort of disaster scenario, feeding as many people as quickly as possible would probably be the goal. They’d probably grow rice and soy or something.
Animal farming is really for luxury goods, except in very remote places where crops can’t be grown
Not really. Rice, soy, wheat, and corn do not grow all year round, and that’s assuming those are retained. It took a long time to selectively breed the grains that we know as rice and corn to be as productive as they are. They started pretty similar to grasses. Farming will still be good, and they can be preserved with things like fermentation and pickling, but farming animals was not just done as a luxury.
