Agricultural landscape

GEOGRAPHY

I have chosen this fotograph because I think here you can distinguish quite well the type of plots and farming systems, even though we can't appreciate the type of rural settlements that it is
As you can see in this pic it is an open field because there are no boundaries 
You can also see that is clearly monoculture since there is joust one type of crop 
It is an irrigated farming because you can see that it is being watered by an irrigation system
If in this picture we saw houses near this field we would have to say if it the rural settlements were scattered or concentrated
