Plural of cultivator; people who grow plants or machines that prepare soil.
From cultivator + -s (plural marker).
Medieval cultivators of the land were basically locked into their jobs—most peasants in feudal systems couldn't leave the land they worked, making them not really free despite being called something other than slaves.
Plural form inherits masculine coding from agricultural labor historiography; women's cultivation practices globally undercounted in formal documentation.
Refer to diverse cultivators; specify roles (crop cultivators, technique innovators) to avoid invisibility of women's contributions.

Indigenous and smallholder farming systems, often managed by women, demonstrate sophisticated cultivation knowledge that modern agriculture built upon.
