cultural practices
Inherited group behaviors
Cultural practices are the customs, behaviors, rituals, and traditions shared by a group of people—often tied to ethnicity, religion, nationality, or community.
The term encompasses everything from ceremonies and holidays to everyday habits around food, dress, and social interaction.
In agriculture, cultural practices refers specifically to cultivation methods: Crop rotation is among the oldest cultural practices.
The phrase often appears in discussions of heritage preservation or conflicts between traditional ways and modern norms: The hospital now accommodates patients' cultural practices.
