Landrace

Landrace is a type of plant or animal that has adapted to its environment over many generations. It is like an old family that has been around for a long time and has learned how to survive in its environment. Farmers and other people in the past would pick the best plants or animals from their land (landrace) to use for food or other purposes. In some cases, people were careful to only pick the healthiest and strongest when breeding them, so that their landrace would also be strong. This has been really important in helping people adapt to different environments and get the best food and other things they need.
