Comparing The Systems

Inca Vs. Peru

The Inca and Peruvians are in the same area since the Inca was partly located in Peru.Both need to grow crops according to the weather since it is very diverse. Both also seem to use a type of irrigation system to water their crops. Both seem and seemed to be pretty sustainable with their food production system being able to make a surplus to feed their civilization. They also grow some of the same crops like potatoes because they are able to grow them in the harsh conditions they are forced to live in.

Peru Vs. Farm

Both seem to be sustainable growing a sufficient amount of crops and making enough money to at least get by. Although while Peru has pesticides under control the farm I visited seems to have a small problem with worms and beetles eating the plants and making little holes in the leaves, but not causing too much damage to the crop.

Inca Vs. Farm

They use different types of fertilizers, the farm I was involved made its own by using things like coffee beans over a patch of dirt then to cover them with dry leaves and branches and let the worms do their thing and fertilize the soil over a two month period. While the Inca used guano to fertilize an area for their crops. They both also use a system of irrigation. Also, they both seemed to use crops that could be grown year round, but the farm also had seasonal crops like I am sure the Inca did.
