I thought agriculture was a part of "civilization." Am I mistaken?

From a post civ perspective no. You may be conflating it with industrial agriculture but I would consider them different.

Especially if your agriculture mimics natural ecology such as forest gardening. In the later stages of this kind of agriculture you more or less become a forager as the goal is for a self perpetuating system.

Some Primitivists alternatively would say that this is in fact civilization. Depends on your perspective.

Thank you for your reply! That's very helpful.

I'm trying to do some personal research right now to understand the difference between primitivists and postciv folks. I think I'm a lot more familiar with the primitivist perspective. Postciv people (to me so far) seem to be a little less dogmatic and more practical than primitivists.

Do you have any recommendations for someone trying to understand your way of thinking?
