An Agricultural World possesses a climate and conditions, which promote farming and ranching. It is a producer of inexpensive foodstuffs and may also be a source of unusual, exotic, or strange edible delicacies.
- Trade code for mainworlds.
- Planet or world type.
Description / Specifications
Agricultural worlds are mostly located within the Habitable Zone although exotic crops using unconventional lifeforms are sometimes bred and used slightly outside of the Habitable Zone. Traditionally, by IISS standards, an agricultural world is considered to be located within the hab zone.
Planetary Characteristics
Agriculture is one of the foundations of the interstellar economy.

Probably Planetary Orbit & Climate
An Agricultural World is a world on which foodstuffs (...of many kinds: plant, animal, and otherwise) can be grown and produced. These foodstuffs are suitable for conventional life.

History & Background / Dossier
Two of the most urgent key needs for a new colony are living space and adequate foodstuffs. Even at TL-15, agricultural worlds play an important part in the interstellar economy.
Agricultural worlds located on Garden Worlds are considered vastly valuable. A single garden world can often supply the nutritional needs of dozens of planets if connected to the interstellar commerce system.
