George Washington Carver is best known for his development of crop rotation and the promotion of alternative crops to cotton, particularly peanuts, sweet potatoes, and soybeans. While he invented numerous products from peanuts—over 300, including dyes, plastics, and gasoline—his most significant contribution was his agricultural practices that improved soil health and sustainability. These innovations helped restore the economy of the South after the Civil War by encouraging farmers to diversify their crops. Carver's work laid the foundation for modern sustainable agriculture.
