Agriculture
Agriculture, the term 'agriculture' has been defined in various dictionaries both in the narrow sense and in the wider sense. In the narrow sense agriculture is cultivation of the field. In the wider sense it comprises all activities in relation to land including horticulture, forestry, breeding and rearing of livestock, dairying, butter and cheese-making, husbandry, etc. Whether the narrower or the wider sense of the term 'agriculture' should be adopted in a particular case depends not only upon the provisions of the various statutes in which the same occurs but also upon the facts and circumstances of each case, Maheshwari Seed Farm v. T.N. Electricity Board, (2004) 4 SCC 705 (711): AIR 2004 SC 2341.Agriculture includes horticulture, fruit growing, seed growing, dairy farming and livestock breeding and keeping, the use of land as grazing land, meadow land, market gardens and nursery grounds, and the use of land for woodlands where that use is ancillary to the framing of land for othe...

Waste
Waste [fr. vastum, Lat.], any spoil or destruction in houses, gardens, trees, etc., by a tenant; as to what acts amount to waste, see Co. Litt. 53 a. It is either (1) legal, sub-divided into (a) voluntary or commissive, as where the tenant pulls down a house or a part thereof, or ploughs up ancient meadow, and (b) permissive or omissive, as where a tenant suffers a house to fall out of repair; or (2) equitable, which comprehends acts not deemed waste at Common Law. Both for voluntary and permissive waste an action lies against a tenant, whether for life or years, by virtue of the statute of Gloucester, 6 Edw. 1, c. 5. A tenant from year to year is liable for voluntary waste only. An injunction will be granted to restrain voluntary waste, as by ploughing up ancient meadow. See Woodfall, L. & T., and Aggs on Agricultural Holdings. A mortgagor in possession will be restrained from cutting down timber, for as the whole estate is the security for the money advanced, the mortgagor ought not ...
