===Cuisine=== | |||
An important ''surtout de table'' in Krasoan cuisine is the [[taco]], which originates from the native cuisine of [[Takatta Loa]] and was introduced to the Krasoa Islands with the Insuo Loa colonisation. Krasoan tacos therefore remain highly similar to the Loa varieties of taco from which they originated. Tacos served on Nív-Martain are often claimed in Coscivian literature to be "no less authentic" than tacos of the Loa mainland (though this is disputed by Cateniote gastronomists), while tacos served on the southern three islands deviate only in the inclusion of some local subtropical ingredients and minor adjustments to appeal to the Coscivian palate. | |||

{{wp|Tropical agriculture}} and {{wp|tropical horticulture}} are practised in Nív-Martain. Subtropical agriculture is practised over most of the land area of Big Krasoa Island, save for certain elevated localities in the highlands and much of South Krasoa and the southern shores of Island №5, where temperate climatic conditions prevail and crops and farming techniques transplanted from [[South Kirav]] and the Baylands predominate. | |||
A significant and distinctive subsector of Krasoan agriculture is the rearing of {{wp|ratites}}. {{wp|Cassowaries}} were partially domesticated by indigenous peoples from {{wp|time immemorial}} and are today raised on large forest estates in Nív-Martain where they subsist on natural forage, and smaller properties in the Palmetto Coast where they are fed on slops rendered from human {{wp|food waste}}. Further south, {{wp|emus}} are raised in the other provinces of the archipelago for eggs, fat and oil, leather, and meat. Island №5 has the highest number of emus per capita, at a ratio of one emu per human settler. | A significant and distinctive subsector of Krasoan agriculture is the rearing of {{wp|ratites}}. {{wp|Cassowaries}} were partially domesticated by indigenous peoples from {{wp|time immemorial}} and are today raised on large forest estates in Nív-Martain where they subsist on natural forage, and smaller properties in the Palmetto Coast where they are fed on slops rendered from human {{wp|food waste}}.
