produce:category=animal/plant to indicate the broad group of

This could then be applied to any 'landuse' ... no matter how it
is tagged. <br>

<div>Fair enough, I agree that a wildflower meadow is a very
pleasant place to be. However, I would still be more concerned
to avoid the unpleasantness of walking through cropland where
the path is variously ploughed under, utterly obscured by
wheat or maize, or in the best case surfaced with heavy clay
that clings to one's shoes or boots. <br>

down and enjoy a relaxing lunch or coffee break.<br>
