Native American agriculture refers to the traditional farming practices and techniques used by indigenous peoples in North America before the arrival of European settlers. Native Americans employed a variety of methods to cultivate crops such as corn, beans, squash, and sunflowers, including the use of crop rotation, irrigation, and planting in mounds or hills. These agricultural practices were sustainable and often integrated with the natural environment, reflecting the close relationship that Native Americans had with the land. Today, there is growing interest in reviving and preserving these ancient agricultural traditions as a way to promote sustainable farming practices and preserve cultural heritage.
