Horticulture and other farming activities Explanation: Terms to describe farming are notoriously difficult to translate because 'farming' in English is so nonspecific. "Granjeiros" are 'farmers' in English. We don't know if the latter part of the word refers simply to the activity of cultivating crops or if it includes raising chickens, or pigs, or even cows, for that matter. And 'horticulture' is a very commonly used; no need to break it down into fruits and vegetables, especially because the seems to be referring to the process and not the end product. |

vegetables & poultry Explanation: As "strawberry farming" is mentioned in in your question, "vegetables, fruit and poultry" would possibly do the trick. Another possibility would be "produce & poultry". Unfortunately, English lacks a single word for Portuguese "hortigranjeiro" and "hortifrutigranjeiro". |
