1. Agricultural Landscapes

2. 2 x Types of settlement Concentrated rural settlements
Scattered rural settlements

3. 2 x types of plot Open fields Enclosed fields/bocage
Problems with these methods?

4. Cultivation Systems: Crops diversity
Polyculture/monoculture (problems?)
Irrigation system – rain fed/irrigated (where/why?)
Land use and intensive/extensive farming.
Intensive = max productivity, reduced space, fertilisers and special seeds, machinery.
Extensive = big pieces of land and large amounts of crops, low cost.

5. Imagine you are going to set up a farm:
In which country would you choose to live and farm?
Which type of settlement would you choose to live in?
Which crops would you grow?
Would you choose open or closed fields? Why?
Would you grow monoculture or polyculture crops? Why?
Would you use rain fed or irrigated water supplies? Why?
Would you grow crops intensively or extensively? Why?
