1.-Elements of agrarian areas
1.1 Rural habitats:
– concentrated
– scattered
1.2. The plots:
–Monocultures/polycultures
–Enclosed/openfields
–Dry farming/ Irrigated
farming

The rural habitatA. Concentrated
B. Scattered

The plots (1)
• Enclosed • Openfield
Privately owned plots with no fences or
separation.
Plots diveded by fences, hedges. Also
called bocage.

3.- Types of landscapes
3.1. Subsistance
landscapes:
-Traditional agiculture
-Rice cultivation in Asia
3.2. Developed
landscapes:
-Plantations
-Agriculture in Europe
-The Great Plains in
North America
![Page 24: Rural areas](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052311/55944e321a28ab0f198b4596/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Subsistance agriculture: Traditional
• Subsistance
agriculture
• Old techniques
• Low productivity
• Intensive methods
![Page 25: Rural areas](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052311/55944e321a28ab0f198b4596/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Now your turn!
Q4:Why does traditional
agriculture use intensive
methods?
![Page 26: Rural areas](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052311/55944e321a28ab0f198b4596/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Traditional landscapes : Rice cultivation in
Asia
• Highest rural
population of the
world.
• Old technicques
• Intensive
monoculture: high
yield, abundant labour.
• Several harvests a year
![Page 27: Rural areas](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052311/55944e321a28ab0f198b4596/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

are necessary for the cultivation
of rice?

Commercial Agriculture: Plantations
• Coastal tropical countries
• Products: coffee, tea, cocoa.
• Commerical agriculture
• High technology
• Strong investments
• Abundant labour, low wages
![Page 29: Rural areas](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052311/55944e321a28ab0f198b4596/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

• Q 6: Why are
plantations located in
coastal areas?
![Page 30: Rural areas](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052311/55944e321a28ab0f198b4596/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Developed countries: Commercial
agriculture in Europe
• High yield
• Mechanization, seeds
selection, fertilizers
and pesticides
• Specialization
• Market gardening
• CAP
![Page 31: Rural areas](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052311/55944e321a28ab0f198b4596/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Now your turn!
• Q 7: Think over:
How has european agriculture been
able to increase production in spite
of reducing the number of farmers
working in the primary sector?
![Page 32: Rural areas](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052311/55944e321a28ab0f198b4596/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
3.2. Developed countries: Great
Plains in North Amercia
• Market oriented
• Big plots of land.
Geometrical shape.
• Extensive method:
high yield and
scarce labour.
![Page 33: Rural areas](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052311/55944e321a28ab0f198b4596/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Now your turn!
• Q8: Each american farmer can produce
enough food to feed one hundred USA
citizens,
How do you think he accomplishes this
result?
![Page 34: Rural areas](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052311/55944e321a28ab0f198b4596/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
