===Landholding, Enterprise Types, and Labour Relations=== | ===Landholding, Enterprise Types, and Labour Relations=== | ||
In premodern times, labour in the agrarian economy was closely tied to ''[[tuva]]'', ethnicity, and caste. Cultivation of staple crops, such as potato and cereals, was generally undertaken by large caste groups who occupied the most fertile and level land, and the descendants of these people form the regional majority Coscivian subgroups recognisible today. In many regions, the cultivation of secondary crops, such as onions and other vegetables, was assigned to minority Coscivian groups. | |||

Although the share of GDP and employment generated by agriculture has steadily declined since industrialisation, agriculture remains politically important in the Kiravian Federacy. Maintaining a robust agricultural sector in Great Kirav is seen as critical to building a distributed economy and improving regional balance, and for mitigating the island continent's food insecurity as a strategic vulnerability for the Federacy at large. Like many temperate industrialised countries, Kiravia generously subsidises its agricultural sector. Federal subsidies to agriculture in Great Kirav (both the Federation and the South) and Æonara are consolidated under a series of [[Index of Kiravian Legislation#Recurring|Triennial Agriculture Acts]] and administered by the [[Kiravian Agricultural Executive|Agricultural Executive]]. The federal subsidy programme covers all of the major food staples and cash crops discussed at length in this article; additional subsidies are extended by provincial governments, and often cover smaller-volume crops, emerging products, and regional specialties with a more limited geographic footprint. In addition to protection of the domestic agricultural sector, the Triennial Agricultural Acts address adjacent policy concerns, such as erosion and runoff mitigation, {{wp|biosecurity}}, and the preservation of agricultural heritage. The Agricultural Executive also administers the Agricultural Reform Fund, which disburses payments to large landowners dispossessed by the Kiravian Union. | Although the share of GDP and employment generated by agriculture has steadily declined since industrialisation, agriculture remains politically important in the Kiravian Federacy.
