DESCRIBING AN AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPE

First at all an agricultural system is a land that has, over time, been transformed by the farming activities of human beings in order to grow crops and obtain products from nature. The plot that you can see in the image is very large, with a regular shape and without any boundaries. As you can see, the crops grow at the same time and they are separated by the same gap more or less. These open fields are more commonly found in Central Europe. This landscape is a monoculture system because the farmers grow a single type of crop. About the form of irrigation, it is an irrigated system because the crops need water from groundwater, reservoirs or rives which the farmers brought using canals and irrigation ditches. The other farming system that appears in the photo is the form of growing crops which can be intensive or extensive. In this case it is extensive agriculture because this type happens in sparsely areas and the example of the picture is in a sparsely space. Other characteristic that says it is extensive is because the needs of machinery to grow. Also, because it is a big piece of land.
