Yes, attitudes on our relationship to the earth are changing quite dramatically in some places. Or we could say, retreating to an old wisdom.
Agriculture involved tearing nature limb from limb and rearranging it into some grim mosaic to befit a set of provincial tastes and needs, like some taxidermied kill.
At least with the ongoing development of something like permaculture, there is an attempt to sort of fold nature upon itself in the modest service of our needs. Though these alternate systems would still cause problems after certain thresholds of volume and power.
And there are plenty of indigenous societies who didn't really have this problem, though they may have had others, such as having an expanding and totalizing imperial society wedge itself between them and the earth, and then continuously lift and pry.
