Morphology
The meaning 'a region where agriculture is the main activity' is directly and compositionally derived from 'farming' (cultivating crops/raising animals) + 'area' (a region). This straightforward noun-noun combination follows common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Farming area combines farming, meaning growing crops and keeping animals, and area, meaning a place of land, so you can imagine fields and farms in the same place. That's why it means 'a place where most people work in farming'.
