The science of producing crops and livestock, aiming to increase production and protect the land from deterioration.
 * Agronomy: soil management, breeding, and physiology of major field crops.


 * Horticulture: cultivating fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants. Specify:
 * Pomology: fruit and nut crops.
 * Olericulture: herbaceous plants for the kitchen, including, for example, carrots (edible root), asparagus (edible stem), lettuce (edible leaf), cauliflower (edible flower), tomatoes (edible fruit), and peas (edible seed).
 * Floriculture: the production of ornamental plants, such as cut flowers, pot plants, and greenery. This may further specialize into Landscape horticulture, and includes lawn turf and nursery crops (shrubs, trees, and climbers). More than you wanted to know, right?

Characters could have an agricultural background, such as the farmboy who joined the Marines or survived induction into the pirate band. Alternately, they could be cross-trained in agriculture as a function of training locals as an adjunct to Unconventional Warfare.
 * Animal Husbandry: the care, supervision, and training of domesticated (livestock) animals. The average farmer ranks between 30-50. Cowboys average a little less, but they're usually better at predicting and controlling animal behavior.
 * Dairying: producing, processing, and distributing milk and milk products.
