Collecting is gathering. It is not farming. Repeat after me: Collecting is gathering. It is not farming.
Harvesting vast fields of grass seed is also called collecting. Gathering, too. It is not farming, unless you can demonstrate that people planted those vast fields of grass. If they didn't, if they were 'natural' features, then the people harvested the seed, collected the seed, gathered the seed. And of course, the women ground it into a sort of flour for damper.
Or you can ignore reality. That's up to you. I'm puzzled why a humane person such as yourself disrespects and demeans the hunter-gatherer way of life so much as to deny it ? Do you think that a foraging society DIDN'T have property rights, or sovereignty over their lands ? Is that it ?
