Agriculture has been the backbone of human civilization since its inception. While modern technology has revolutionized agricultural practices, the ancient texts of the Tamil literary corpus, particularly the Sangam literature, offer invaluable insights into the agricultural techniques and wisdom of the past. This essay delves into the agricultural practices detailed in the Sangam texts, namely Naṟṟiṇai, Kuṟuntokai, Aingurunūṟu, Patiṟṟuppattu, Paripāṭal, Kalittokai, Akanāṉūṟu, and Puranāṉūṟu, and uses mathematical modeling, specifically simplex methods, to analyze and compare these techniques with contemporary agricultural technology.
