The ghost of the Incas's farming achievements still shadows the Andes. The remnants of ancient terraces in Machu Picchu appear as lines of green on the mountains. Inspired by recent archaeological research, the people of Andes are rebuilding terraces and irrigation systems and reclaiming traditional crops and methods of planting. They do this because Incan agricultural techniques are more productive and more efficient in terms of water use.
