Heritage Crops
Heritage crops are traditional varieties of plants that have been cultivated for generations, often passed down through families or communities. These crops are valued for their unique flavors, resilience, and adaptability to local growing conditions. They are typically grown using sustainable farming practices, which help preserve biodiversity and maintain the cultural heritage of farming communities.
Many heritage crops are at risk of being lost due to the dominance of commercial agriculture and modern hybrid varieties. By promoting the cultivation and consumption of heritage crops, we can support local farmers, protect genetic diversity, and encourage sustainable agricultural practices that benefit both the environment and food security.
