Extinct agricultural crops

Agricultural heritage is the traditional methods of farming, crops, and cultural practices that have developed over thousands of years. These traditions are important because they have shaped diets, economies, and societal identities. Many crops that were once vital to human nutrition and culture have become extinct over time, or have not been maintained in cultivation. This decline has been driven by modern farming practices, climate change, and shifts in consumer preferences. Preserving agricultural heritage is essential for maintaining food diversity, supporting cultural traditions, and promoting food security in the face of global challenges.
