The lack of significant radiation from nuclear attacks, as had befallen other parts of the country, meant that agriculture in the Mojave Wasteland rebounded much more successfully than was possible elsewhere. Li's hydroponics farm, the only instance of farming in the Capital Wasteland.

The local tribals have managed to refine the fruit, increasing their health effects.

Point Lookout: The residents cultivate the naturally growing punga fruit.

Hilltop farm ruins, a small farming colony on a hill.

Chaste Acres Dairy Farm, a family farm.

The tribal members at the Ark & Dove cathedral have cultivated the plants, producing an enhanced version known as refined punga fruit. Nearby Point Lookout produces punga fruit, considered sacred by local tribals, that purges radiation and restores health. The success of the lab allows Rivet City to export produce elsewhere in the region. Chief Botanist Janice Kaplinski hopes to eventually grow broccoli. A science lab led by Madison Li uses hydroponic farming to create herbs, potatoes, lima beans and carrots. The Capital Wasteland lacks stable agriculture and reliable sources of clean water, as the Potomac River is irradiated.

ДЇo2 Modoc Good Ending.png Capital Wasteland Ghost Farm: A small farm on the outskirts of Modoc.Shady Sands: Irrigates local soil to support crop production, producing primarily maize and cabbage.Modoc: A dedicated farming town that produces crops, as well as fruits such as apples.Klamath: The town produces and trades plants and vegetables.The Hub: The city refines and trades water, and farms line the perimeter, such as one owned by Irwin.Boneyard: The town of Adytum produces their own food with hydroponic farms.Arroyo: The town produced broc flower, xander root, and other vegetables.However, projections by the Office of Science and Industry, as well as commentary from NCR military officials, warn that current NCR agriculture may not be enough to feed the population within ten years, due to draining of aquifers, as well as lack of proper environmental conditions. In addition, groups such as the Republican Farmers' Committee lobby to keep their interests at the forefront of lawmaker's priorities. Unified behind the NCR, the citizens and communities of the region have reliable sources of food and water.

By the 2200s, with the rise of the New California Republic (NCR), dedicated farms and ranches are now maintained to feed the growing population. The town of Adytum is unique for being able to conduct hydroponic farming. New CaliforniaДuring the 2100s, agriculture is limited throughout the former state of California. Large scale farms such as the NCR sharecropper farms emerged, while others engaged in researching hydroponics. These surviving plants allowed agriculture to begin once again, survivors reemerging to plant and harvest crops. ДЇollowing the war, some species of plants survived, and despite mutations, could be harvested and consumed. Despite these attempts, a global hunger crisis persisted in the weeks before the Great War, leading to food riots. The scientists of Vault 22 underneath the Mojave Desert researched food production, seeing improvement in crop yields by way of splicing new cultivars with existing corn samples, producing hybrids that responded better to artificial light. Before the Great War, the United States Department of Agriculture oversaw several research projects such as the American Crop Protection Initiative, that through the Secretary and Senate Committee on Agriculture, reviewed the use of biological agents to eliminate crop pests. Agriculture is key to the growth of any society, with surpluses in food encouraging further development.
