According to the Oxford African American Studies Center, Carver developed an interest in plants and flowers as a young child. He earned both a B.S. and a master's in botany and agriculture. His interest in fighting poverty and malnutrition among black farmers in the South led him to develop a method of soil conservation that involved crop rotation that altered between peanut crops and the typical cotton crops. Peanut crops not only rejuvenated the soil, but supplemented the farmers' diet.
