Ethnobotanical Crop Studies

Ethnobotanical crop studies explore the traditional uses of plants in agriculture, medicine, and cultural practices. These studies document indigenous knowledge about crops used for food, herbal remedies, and rituals. By integrating this knowledge with modern agricultural practices, ethnobotany helps identify crops with high nutritional or medicinal value. It also promotes the conservation of biodiversity and indigenous practices. Ethnobotanical research supports sustainable farming by introducing lesser-known crops to mainstream agriculture, enriching crop diversity and offering solutions to contemporary agricultural challenges.
