Note from asker:
| @Sven - I agree with your comment, but agricultural sciences is still one of the official translations (maddening, isn't it? Thank you so much, Formas!). So, yes, @Barry, I agree with you too! |

Charles Ek
: For the reasons stated by Sven. Note that the Council is explicitly involved in science but "areella näringar" has broader application in Sweden.

Discussion
"Till de areella näringarna räknas oftast näringar som använder olika biologiska resurser på land och i vatten. I kommunala översiktsplaner, eller i underlag till dessa, kan näringarnas betydelse och företagens karaktär belysas."
