Agriculture

Definition

In the broadest sense, this sector of the economy includes crop farming, animal breeding, hunting, fishing and forestry. The classification of French activities establishes a distinction between agricultural activity (exploitation of natural resources to produce various crops and livestock), forestry and fishing activity (professional exploitation of halieutic resources in marine environments or freshwater).
These activities correspond to section A of NAF rev. 2.
