Domesticating plants

Description

Domesticating plants involves the intentional selection, cultivation, and breeding of wild plant species to enhance desirable traits such as yield, resilience, and nutritional value. This strategy addresses food insecurity, environmental degradation, and resource scarcity by creating reliable, adaptable crops suited to human needs and local conditions. Through systematic propagation and management, domestication remedies the unpredictability of wild harvests, supports sustainable agriculture, and underpins stable food systems for growing populations.
