Hidalgo tried to aid the poor by teaching them to grow which crops?

Tomatoes and Potatoes
Olives and Grapes
Wheat and Barley
Maize and Beans

Answer

Hidalgo tried to help the poor by teaching them to grow olives and grapes. This was because these crops were relatively easy to grow and could provide a good source of income. He also encouraged them to plant fruit trees and vegetables, as these would provide them with a more varied diet.
