An '''Agri-World''' ('''Agricultural World''' or '''Farming Planet''') or '''α-class''' (alpha class) is one devoted to food production. The majority of its surface is given over to producing food for other worlds reliant on such imports - the food itself forms part of the planet's required [[Tithe Grade|tithe]]. Governors of such planets are required by the [[Adeptus Terra]] to protect the harvest and meet the quotas places placed on them. Often inter-commander rivalry leads to attempts to destroy or steal crops and livestock and then blaming them on pirates or raids.{{Fn|1}}
Worlds with 850 parts per 1000 of the planet's surface covered with crop cultivation, hydroponics, animal fodder or animal husbandry are classed as Agri-Worlds. The population usually ranges from between 15,000 to 1,000,000 - which is widely spread across the planet. The tithe grade of such worlds range from Exactis Prima to Exactis Particular.{{Fn|2}}
