Yes, Timbuktu, located in present-day Mali, historically engaged in farming, particularly during its peak as a center of trade and scholarship in the 14th to 16th centuries. The region's inhabitants cultivated crops such as millet, sorghum, and rice, taking advantage of the Niger River's seasonal flooding for irrigation. However, as trade routes shifted and the climate changed, agricultural practices in Timbuktu diminished over time. Today, farming still occurs in the surrounding areas, but it is not as central to Timbuktu's identity as it once was.
