Land that people use to grow plants for food or to keep animals for food or other products.

[amount] of farmland
Häufiger Fehler:
Learners sometimes treat "farmland" like a regular countable noun and say *"many farmlands"* when **"farmland" is usually uncountable**, especially in everyday English (e.g., "a lot of farmland", "some farmland"). Another confusion is between "farmland" and "farm": a **farm** is the whole business/place (buildings, animals, and fields), while **farmland** refers specifically to the land used for crops or animals.
Synonyme
