The
origins of horticulture lie in the transition of human communities from
nomadic hunter-gatherers to sedentary or semi-sedentary horticultural
communities, cultivating a variety of crops on a small scale
around their dwellings or in specialized plots visited occasionally
during migrations from one area to the next. (such as the "milpa" or
maize field of Mesoamerican cultures).
In
forest areas such horticulture is often carried out in swiddens ("slash
and burn" areas). A characteristic of horticultural communities is that
useful trees are often to be found planted around communities or
specially retained from the natural ecosystem. |
