George Washington Carver

George Washington Carver was an American agricultural scientist and inventor known for his innovative work with crops like peanuts, sweet potatoes, and soybeans. In the early 20th century, he promoted sustainable farming practices, teaching farmers to rotate these crops to enrich the soil and reduce reliance on cotton, which depleted nutrients. Carver's research in agricultural chemistry led to hundreds of products and recipes that utilized these crops, helping to improve the lives of countless farmers and promote diversification in agriculture. His legacy emphasizes the importance of ecological balance and sustainable farming techniques.
