'''Neo-Agriculture''' is a placeholder term for the act of adapting the Wilderness to the world of humans. The working assumption is that the Wilderness is primarily composed of plants, both extraterrestrial (from across the "phase veil") and perhaps mutated Earth plants. Some time after the events of Oni, some scientists are working at finding a way to live alongside the hostile life of the Wilderness, akin to Princess [[Nausicaa]]. This is as opposed to the [[wp:Slash-and-burn|slash-and-burn]] approach that some are taking towards the encroaching wildlife, and also opposed to the idea of giving everyone Chrysalises so they can adapt to the Wilderness. | '''Neo-Agriculture''' is a placeholder term for the act of adapting the Wilderness to the world of humans.
