Archaeologist Stephen Acabado (UCLA), community leader Marlon Martin (Save the Ifugao Terraces Movement), anthropologist Karminn Daytec Yañgot (University of the Philippines–Baguio), and scholar Yi-Chin Wu (National Taiwan University) highlight how the famous Ifugao rice terraces thrived not in isolation, but as acts of resistance to colonial intrusion.The conversation examines Ifugao agriculture, ritual exchange, and environmental design as dynamic systems of adaptation that continue to shape climate and sustainability discussions today.ModeratorStephen B.
