Industrial Crops
Industrial crops are plants cultivated primarily for their non-food products, which are used in various industries. These crops include cotton, hemp, and sugarcane, and they are often processed to produce textiles, biofuels, and other materials. Their cultivation plays a significant role in the economy, providing raw materials for manufacturing and energy production.
The growth of industrial crops is essential for sustainable practices, as they can be used to create biodegradable products and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Additionally, many industrial crops can be grown on marginal lands, helping to preserve arable land for food production while supporting diverse agricultural systems.
