Morphology
The meaning 'the cultivation of cranberries' is directly compositional from 'cranberry' (a type of berry) + 'culture' (cultivation/growing). This noun-noun combination names the activity or industry related to that crop and follows a productive, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The noun cranberry culture comes from farm life: farmers grow cranberry plants in wet fields and care for them so the bushes make many berries. So cranberry culture means the work or business of 'growing' cranberries.
