agricultural
Relating to or belonging to agriculture, that is, crop farming and livestock farming for the production of food and raw materials.

The word is a derivation from the noun 'die Landwirtschaft' (agriculture). This in turn is composed of 'das Land' (land/country) and 'die Wirtschaft' (economy). The ending '-lich' makes it an adjective.

Many farms today are modern agricultural businesses.
This adjective is often combined with certain nouns. Common collocations are 'landwirtschaftliche Flächen' (agricultural land/areas), 'landwirtschaftliche Produkte' (agricultural products), and 'ein landwirtschaftlicher Betrieb' (an agricultural business/farm).
Die landwirtschaftlichen Produkte aus der Region sind für ihre hohe Qualität bekannt.
The agricultural products from the region are known for their high quality.
A very common construction is the combination with the verb 'nutzen' (to use). You say that an area is 'landwirtschaftlich genutzt' (used for agricultural purposes).
Nur ein kleiner Teil des Landes kann landwirtschaftlich genutzt werden.
Only a small part of the country can be used for agricultural purposes.
agrarian / agricultural
Both adjectives relate to agriculture and can describe a measure. “Landwirtschaftlich” is regularly inflected and can also come after the verb, whereas “agrar” is almost always used directly before a noun. For a statement with “ist,” “landwirtschaftlich” is the appropriate choice; before a noun, both are often possible.
Die neue Maßnahme ist landwirtschaftlich ausgerichtet.
The new measure is focused on agriculture.
Das Ministerium plant eine agrarpolitische Maßnahme für die Bauern.
The ministry is planning an agricultural policy measure for farmers.
