| '''Agriculture worlds''', otherwise known as '''ag-worlds''',{{Ref/Reuse|ch}} or '''ag planet'''{{Ref/Novel|Id=polchapt1|PoL|Chapter=1}} are [[planet|worlds]] used by the [[Unified Earth Government]] to produce and provide food for [[Earth]] and its [[human colonies|colonies]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=ch|CH|Page=76}} These worlds, typically found among the [[Outer Colonies]], are used primarily for agricultural purposes, and are therefore not usually equipped for military action. The exports that agriculture worlds provided to the [[Inner Colonies]] generally included livestock, mineral water, and vegetable and fruit goods.{{Ref/Book|[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]|Page=299}} | | '''Agriculture Worlds''', otherwise known as '''Ag-Worlds''', are worlds used by the [[UNSC]] to produce and provide food for [[Earth]] and its colonies.<ref name="ch">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 76''</ref> These planets are used only for agricultural purposes, and are therefore not usually equipped for military action. |

| ==Overview==
| | [[Harvest]] in the [[Epsilon Indi]] system is the only known agriculture world (hence its name, "Harvest").<ref name="ch"/> Other Agriculture Worlds may or may not have names of the same scheme, although it is likely. |
| [[Harvest]] in the [[Epsilon Indi system]] is a known agriculture world (hence its name, "Harvest"),{{Ref/Reuse|ch}} having the highest per capita agricultural productivity rate of any colony and was capable of providing foodstuffs for over six other worlds.{{Ref/Novel|CH|Page=33}} Another agricultural world was [[New Llanelli]] in the [[Brunel system]].{{Ref/Novel|Halo: Mortal Dictata|Page=118}} [[Sonata]] in the [[Helice-12 system]] was an agriculture world with a focus on [[florus]] crops.{{Ref/Reuse|polchapt1}} | |

| {{Main|Human-Covenant War}}
| |
| By [[2535]], most of the UEG's agricultural worlds were [[glassed]] by the [[Covenant]]. As a result, some human colonies began to experience food shortages. This forced some Inner Colony worlds, such as [[Chi Rho]], to convert any available arable soil to farmlands.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: The Cole Protocol|Page=29}}
