Chamber of Agriculture

This long word can be broken down well: it consists of 'Landwirtschaft' (agriculture) and 'Kammer' (chamber). 'Landwirtschaft' itself is composed of 'Land' (land) and 'Wirtschaft' (economy/management). The '-s-' is a linking sound that connects the parts.
Die Landwirtschaftskammer ist eine wichtige Institution für Bauern.
The Chamber of Agriculture is an important institution for farmers.
This is a formal, official term from the field of administration and law. It is used in laws, official documents, and the specialist press.

Since it is an institution, you turn 'an' it (accusative) or get advice 'von' or 'bei' it (dative). You are also often 'Mitglied der' Landwirtschaftskammer (a member of the Chamber of Agriculture; genitive).
