domesticator
Makes wild things manageable
A domesticator is one who domesticates—who tames wild animals or cultivates wild plants for human use.
The term applies to ancient peoples who first bred wolves into dogs or wild grasses into wheat, and to modern scientists continuing that work: Early domesticators in the Fertile Crescent transformed agriculture.
