Land that people use to grow plants for food or to keep animals for food or other products.
Schema d'uso:
[amount] of farmland
Errore comune:
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.
Sinonimi
agricultural land (More formal and technical; used especially in planning, policy, and academic contexts.)
Contrari
urban land (Refers to land with cities, houses, and roads instead of fields and farms.)
