Agriculture

Agriculture is an important way to get more food from less land, with some important caveats:
  • Agriculture takes a lot more work than natural terrains — smaller cities would do better to stick to hunting and gathering.
  • Agriculture can make the land less fertile, limiting future placements.

Wheat does not count as a food substance. You will need food industry terrains to make pies or bread, or sheep pasture to make mutton.
