All Crops

Farmed plants held as agricultural subjects: the staple grains, pulses, oil crops, roots and tubers, fibre and sugar crops, fruits and vegetables that people cultivate for food, feed and raw material, each carried with its scientific name, crop class and domestication facts. The tree under this category follows the FAO Indicative Crop Classification commodity groups (cereals, pulses, oilcrops, roots and tubers, sugar crops, fibre and industrial crops, fruit, vegetables and melons, stimulant and beverage crops, forage crops), read against this atlas own live crop list rather than imported wholesale. Does not belong here: the same plant studied as a wild species, which is Nature own subject, or the plant prepared as a dish or cuisine, which is Food own subject; Agriculture holds the farmed subject and its cultivation, not the taxon in the wild or the finished food.
