Notes to answerer
Asker: @Sven - I agree with your comment, but agricultural sciences is still one of the official translations (maddening, isn't it? Thank you so much, Formas!). So, yes, @Barry, I agree with you too!

disagree  Charles Ek: For the reasons stated by Sven. Note that the Council is explicitly involved in science but "areella näringar" has broader application in Sweden.
