An agricultural landscape is a natural area which has been modified by humans to obtain products from nature.
The image shows an inland landscape, possibly located in the Iberian Plateau.
refering to the relief, it is a plane without any elevation. The area has no vegetation, except some scarce bushes around the paths, and some few plots, so it is an scrubland landscape, this maiby hapens due to low rainfall. In addition, there are not any rivers, lakes or springs. Probably these is a problem for the farmers of the place which may build Canals to irrigate their plots. According to all these, the climateof this location sims to be arid.
The predominant use of the land is for farming, the plots which are in the image are medium-size open fields, with dry farming crops of extensive and monoculture parcels. In addition if we pay attention, the furrows and the marks on the lots tell us that are Modern-Mechanized lands probably of a private land ownership.
In the picture we also can see a nucleated rural settlement so a secondary use of the land could be for living and building houses.
This combination of houses and Medium-size plots are typical of rural landscapes, however rural areas are having some issues.
Some of the problems are depopulation the ageing of it and the lack of services and infraestructures like schools, roats, and those ones relacionated with health care like hospitals.
Among the measures that can be applied to deal with them, we find the creation of industries, this would draw young dependents. In addition, if the government invest in new infrasestructures, the people would not go to big citys, letting their homes alone.
