A new goal, cultivating land (6)
I believe the answer is:
angola
'land' is the definition.
(African country)
'a new goal cultivating' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n' (abbreviation as in New Testament NT).
'cultivating' is an anagram indicator.
'goal' anagrammed gives 'gola'.
'a'+'n'+'gola'='ANGOLA'
(Other definitions for angola that I've seen before include "Southwestern African state" , "SW African nation" , "West African country" , "SW African state" , "South-west African country, capital Luanda" .)
