What is the Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing industry?
"The Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing Division includes units mainly engaged in growing crops, raising animals, growing and harvesting timber, and harvesting fish and other
animals from farms or their natural habitats. The division makes a distinction between two basic activities: production, and
support services to production. Included as production activities are horticulture, livestock production and aquaculture,
forestry and logging, and fishing, hunting and trapping." (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2006, Division A: Agriculture,
