Explanation

Mining extracts minerals from the ground. It does not involve growing plants or raising animals, which is what agriculture means.

Forestry, crop farming, and animal husbandry all involve living things that grow and reproduce. These are agricultural activities.

Mining is an extractive industry, completely separate from agriculture.
