põllumajandusmaaga

Põllumajandusmaa refers to land used for agricultural purposes. This classification typically includes arable land, permanent pastures, and land used for permanent crops. In Estonia, where the term is used, it is a significant category of land use, vital for food production and the rural economy.

The definition of põllumajandusmaa can encompass areas actively cultivated for crops, such as grains, vegetables, and fruits, as well as land that is primarily dedicated to grazing livestock. Permanent pastures are areas that have been under grass for at least five years and are not used for other purposes. Land used for orchards, vineyards, and other perennial crops also falls under this designation.

The management and allocation of põllumajandusmaa are often subject to national policies and regulations, particularly concerning land ownership, use, and conservation. Sustainable agricultural practices on this land are crucial for maintaining soil fertility, biodiversity, and environmental quality. Economic factors, such as market demand for agricultural products and government subsidies, also influence the utilization and value of põllumajandusmaa.

In land registries and statistical reporting, põllumajandusmaa is a distinct category used to track the extent and changes in agricultural land use. This information is essential for agricultural planning, policy development, and understanding the contribution of the agricultural sector to the national economy and landscape.
