Agraria

/əˈɡrɛriə/ noun

Definition

Lands or properties used for agricultural purposes; collectively, the agricultural regions or farming territories of a state or region.

Etymology

From Latin 'agrarius' (relating to land/fields) plus feminine plural form '-ia,' used to describe territorial regions dedicated to farming.

Kelly Says

Roman law heavily regulated 'agraria'—who could own it, how it could be divided, who could farm it—because controlling farmland meant controlling whether people could eat!
