Is this a form of crop rotation? --Ant 22:36, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Kind of. It is a cultural system for honoring nature. It is an agricultural system based on religion originated by the Maya of Central America thousands of years ago.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.21.85.44 (talk • contribs) 28 November 2006.
Don't know about it being a system to 'honor nature'- it was an eminently practical method whose main aim of producing food for the people far outweighed any activity done on the fields for purely religious purposes.--cjllw | TALK 01:50, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
