Horticulture - horticulture

Japanese: 園芸農業 - えんげいのうぎょう（英語表記）horticulture

Intensive agriculture cultivates vegetables, fruit trees, flowers, ornamental trees, and greenery trees for shipment to cities. There are suburban agriculture, which develops in the suburbs of cities, and transport agriculture, which develops away from cities. Cultivation methods include open-field cultivation, forced cultivation, and retarded cultivation, but all of these are cultivation methods that match the prices in the urban market. The scenery of greenhouses and vinyl greenhouses well shows its characteristics. In the days when transportation was inconvenient, it was difficult to develop outside of the suburbs of cities, but as transportation became more convenient, it tended to develop in warm climates and highland areas away from cities, and overall it has tended to move away from the suburbs of cities.

Japanese:

都市への出荷を目的として野菜，果樹，花卉，花木，緑化樹木などを栽培する集約的農業。都市近郊に発達する近郊農業，都市から離れたところに発達する輸送農業などがあり，栽培方法には露地栽培，促成栽培，抑制栽培などがあるが，いずれも都市市場の価格と見合う栽培方法をとっている。温室やビニルハウスの景観は，その特色をよく示す。交通輸送が不便な時代は，都市近郊以外には発達しにくかったが，交通が便利になってくると，都市から離れた気候の温暖なところや高冷地に発達しやすく，全体として都市近郊から離れる傾向にある。
