Outside of the main riverine corridors and coastal regions of the Valley, some major agricultural areas exist, with agriculture serving as a top ten industry in the Valley. The warm but still-temperate climate of the region makes large parts of it ideal for farming, and historically the Valley was one of the most productive food-growing regions in the world. Its agricultural output has largely remained steady since the dawn of the 20th century, as rapid increases in farm productivity from chemical and industrial improvements have offset the equally rapid reduction of farmland in favor of cities and suburbs.

The warm but still-temperate climate of the region makes large parts of it ideal for farming, and historically the Valley was one of the most productive food-growing regions in the world. Large scale irrigation efforts supplemented the agriculturally-viable weather beginning in the medieval period to make most of the Valley fairly verdant and fertile.
