Description / Specifications
Agricultural worlds produce goods from plants and animals. While this is mostly in the form of sustenance (food) it can also be in the form of plant-based or animal-based textiles, pharmaceuticals, and raw materials used in other industries. Every species of conventional life requires such resources, so worlds that produce quality foodstuffs of plant, animal, and other forms are always in demand. Even as technological solutions to producing foodstuffs are invented, most sophonts still greatly prefer "quality food" to more technological substitutes such as vat-grown meat or lab-grown fungal meal supplements.
Planetary Characteristics
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. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ag | No | Unlikely | Possible | Yes | Possible | Unlikely | No | No | Ag worlds work best within the HZ, but specialized crops may be possible in more extreme environments especially when of an unconventional life species.

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.
Worlds & Sectors / Astrography
This type of world is found throughout Charted Space.
