I can't recall the source, but I remember hearing that the Amazon, generations ago, was farmed. The trees aren't distributed naturally, or something like that, we see signs of intentional crop management. However, it was done in a symbiotic way with nature so that it almost looks natural, until you look closer. With lots of fruit trees and food sources so that food was an abundant free resource.

Wish I could remember the source for this, sounds like heaven on earth, working with nature is all we need to rediscover freedom.

You're thinking about indigenous groups that farmed parts of the Amazon. You want a rabbit hole? Google Terra preta. See you in a few years ;)

You got me going down the rabbit hole at work now. Very fascinating stuff. It's incredible the things that our ancestors knew about nature that have been lost to time.

1491 by Charles Mann. The book everyone should read instead of Guns, Germs and Steel which is a bunch of hooey.
