Agricultural deities are divine figures associated with farming, crops, and the fertility of the land. They are often worshipped in various cultures to ensure bountiful harvests and favorable growing conditions. These deities may represent specific aspects of agriculture, such as planting, harvesting, or the protection of livestock. Many ancient civilizations, like the Greeks and Romans, had their own agricultural gods, such as Demeter and Ceres, who were revered for their roles in grain production. In other cultures, like those of the Maya and Hinduism, agricultural deities are integral to rituals and festivals that celebrate the cycles of planting and harvesting.
