豸is 表外漢字, meaning (per Kanji Study) snake, bug IIRC, and badger. I'll go with badger as it looks sort of like 豕 but with extra stuff at the top. Teeth? That helps with...
貇, which is also 表外漢字, and seems to mean "gnaw." Which is what a critter might do with things it stops to stare at 艮 because they look like good 良い food 食べ物.
So after all that:
墾, cultivate: One way to get land 土 ready for planting is to get critters 豸 to
gnaw on it 貇. (Farmers do this with pigs, but maybe badgers
will work in a pinch.)
懇, cordial: The warm fuzzy feeling a critter gets when you give it
something to gnaw.
Kanji: 墾懇.
