I’m going over my Lightroom keywording to clean it up. I’m wondering how people keyword things like strawberries? would you put it under “food” or “crops?” So if you had photos of strawberry plants, how would you keyword it as opposed to strawberries in a fruit salad?

I’m a Lightroom Classic user, not expert. I learned so much realizing you were asking about a practical issue in hierarchies - which I am not yet using. Oh, so much work for the project I now know I need to pursue!

Re your question, stimulated by a the help page and a post regarding the same keyword being “unique” under a different parent, my immediate thought is Nature → Plant → Strawberries and Food → Strawberries.

Yea, I'm thinking to make things work better to to have two: one for plants and one for food. So the photo dictates which. Strawberries on a plant would be crops/plant, whereas in a fruit salad would be food. I have been too neat about this and I'm working to clean things up.
