Agriculture

Roles: farmer, crop, field, silo, harvest, soil, season, livestock, storage

The large-scale cultivation of crops and raising of livestock for food and material production. Distinguished from horticulture by scale, mechanization, and an emphasis on storage and distribution infrastructure. Agricultural frames introduce concepts of yield, surplus, spoilage prevention, seasonal rhythm, and the built structures (barns, silos, granaries) that manage harvested material over time.
