2 x Types of settlement Concentrated rural settlements Scattered rural settlements

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

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.

Would you grow crops intensively or extensively? Why?
