cultivation
Sites where crops, including plants or mushrooms, are grown or livestock is raised for agricultural purposes.
Cultivation sites are places for growing crops such as plants or mushrooms, or for raising animal livestock for agricultural purposes. These places may be crop fields, greenhouses, pastures, or any other suitable environments.
The productive activity involves growing or raising living organisms. It can occur in an enclosed growing environment as well as on open agricultural land.
A supporting farm building need not itself contain cultivation. Storage of harvested products and extraction of inorganic or fossil resources have different purposes from growing crops or raising livestock.
