Growing region

Growing region

A growing region is an area suited by climate and soil conditions to the cultivation of a certain type of crop. Most crops are cultivated not in one place only, but in several distinct regions in diverse parts of the world. Cultivation in these areas may be enabled by a large-scale regional climate, or by a unique microclimate.

The need for growing fodder has also historically limited livestock to certain agricultural regions.

Growing regions, because of the need for climate consistency, are usually oriented along a general latitude, and in the United States these are often called "belts".

The growing region of a traditional staple crop often has a strong cultural cohesiveness.
