Which societies have a migrating food supply?

It's not accurate to say that societies have a "migrating food supply" in the sense of a food supply that physically moves around. However, there are societies whose food sources are impacted by migration patterns, either of animals they hunt or of the crops they grow.

Here are some examples:

Societies that rely on migratory animals:

* Hunter-gatherer societies: Many hunter-gatherer societies around the world rely on migrating animals for food. For example, the Inuit people of the Arctic depend on the annual migration of caribou, while the San people of Southern Africa rely on the migration of wildebeest and other animals. These societies often have to move seasonally to follow their prey.

* Pastoral societies: These societies rely on domesticated animals for food and other resources. These animals often migrate seasonally in search of grazing land, and the pastoralists follow them. For example, the Maasai people of East Africa move their cattle herds between different grazing areas based on the availability of water and pasture.

* Fishing communities: Some fishing communities rely on the seasonal migration of fish stocks. For example, the people of the Pacific Northwest of North America have long relied on the migration of salmon, and their fishing practices are adapted to this migration.

Societies that rely on seasonally migrating crops:

* Agricultural societies: Some societies grow crops that require specific seasonal conditions. These societies may have to adjust their agricultural practices to accommodate the seasonal migrations of their crops. For example, some farmers in areas with distinct wet and dry seasons may grow crops that are adapted to the rainy season and then switch to different crops during the dry season.

Important note:

It's crucial to understand that the term "migrating food supply" is not commonly used in academic discourse. It is more accurate to talk about the societies' adaptation to the migration patterns of their food sources, be it animals, fish, or plants.
