agricultural activities
Working the land
Agricultural activities are the work involved in farming—cultivating crops, raising livestock, and managing land for food production.
The term appears frequently in legal, regulatory, and environmental contexts where distinguishing farm operations from other land uses matters: The zoning ordinance permits agricultural activities on parcels over five acres.
It encompasses planting, harvesting, irrigation, pest control, and animal husbandry.
