Life Cycle

This dimension sorts crops by their life cycle, annual, biennial or perennial. Wikipedia notes that "crops are cultivated at scale to produce food, fiber, fuel, and other products," and how often a crop must be replanted is one of its most basic agricultural traits. Browsing by life cycle keeps crops with the same growing cycle grouped together.
