Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Agricultural land is defined as the land area that is either arable, under permanent crops, or under permanent pastures. Arable land includes land under temporary crops such as cereals, temporary meadows for mowing or for pasture, land under market or kitchen gardens, and land temporarily fallow.

Detailed explanation-2: -Clay Soil. Clay’s heavy and compact structure holds moisture well and is ideal for moisture-loving plants. Many crops will thrive in this type of soil due to the high nutrient content.

Detailed explanation-3: -Arable crops are those such as wheat and barley, which require good soil quality and a favourable climate to grow, and land amenable to the use of ploughing and harvesting machinery.
